auto-login script for connecting to remote m/n by using telnet/ftp/ssh

Uday123 · 12-27-2005, 08:57 AM

Hi all,

I need a script for getting connection to remote machine by using ssh/telnet/ftp.
and that script should do
1.copy the files/scripts from my machine to remote machine.
2.execute the script at remote machine and copy the output file from remote m/n to my local machine.

I have done with the connectivity part by using Expect script.
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn telnet <IP address>
expect -re "login"
send "username\n"
expect -re "Password"
send "password of the user\n"
interact

Can you please help me for getting the other 2 requirements.

Thanks in advance

this is just weird, i've seen like 5 expect questions today, and hardly any ever before...

anywho... firslty don't use telnet. secondsly use ssh, thirdly use preshared keys to mean you don't need to log in at all. you've no need to run expect at all.

ssh user@server mycommandiwanttorun > localoutputfile.txt

Hi,

I made a free open source tool named SendCommand that would permit you to automate logins (ssh/telnet) and command execution on your routers. It has been developed in perl and it is highly customizable.

Check it out:

cheers

COOL SCRIPT MAN! AWESOME!
I did this.

apt-get install expect
cd /usr/sbin

vi autologin

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn telnet 10.149.100.3
expect -re "Username:"
send "iamuser\n"
expect -re "Password"
send "thebest\n"
interact

So we create a file, where we can specify an IP address of the remote machine, your password and username.
I am wondering how to make it dynamic for any ip like: autologin 10.10.1.1
