using while in expect
in [TCL]
|
From: Sooraj S on 27 Jul 2010 08:16 Hi, I have an expect script which uploads some data to an FTP server... I wanted to put a whole directory as such into it. But i couldn't find any commands for that. (Is there any ftp command for it...?) So i am creating the directory and then putting all the files using ftp command "mput".. code ---------------- #change pwd to $data on local machine process "$prompt" "lcd $data\r" #create directory $data on remote machine process "$prompt" "mkdir $data\r" #put all the files in $data on local machine into $data on remote. process "$prompt" "mput *\r" #wrong while loop while {expect "?"} { send "y\r" } For each and every files that need to be transfered, ftp will prompt like this "mput <file-name>?"..Is there any way to handle this (using while loop)..

No need to use expect, just use plain Tcl with the FTP package from TclLib or Tcl with the FTP VFS. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Gerald W.

"prompt off" or "toggle prompt" or just "prompt" command will disable interactive prompting, no need for while loop. Check which command works for you.
