putty display loops on listing directories with many files, through expect script
WHY
I use the expect script to ssh to a remote Linux terminal ( shell ). But when I list a directory containing hundreds of files the display goes in a loop from which I cannot escape other than typing exit. I use a putty software to ssh to the linux box from a microsoft platform.
What could be the reason and what can be the solution to it. Is there something which I have to specify in the expect script related to disply buffer or something ?
Please help me.
This has really stuck my work out here.
Any params in expect scripting for setting the terminal params, like buffer, size and so on, on the remote shell on login using the above script.
Just want to try out if that helps me to fix this issue.
I'm newbie on the forum.
I know this is a very old post, but I have the same problem with expect script.
I try to list a directory on remote host and the display goes in a loop.
