Thanks for the help folks. I have learned a lot through this, but I think I
am going to have to go another route to accomplish the end goal. It seems
that the server that I am attempting to send these files to will not accept
the keys that I generated. I do not have access to my home directory on the
server like I would if I had an actual shell account. I cannot actually SSH
into the server. I have tried Putty from windows and ssh from my Mandriva
box, and I can not actually get to a shell prompt. When I connect using the
Secure FTP client (with the manual entry of the password) I only have access
to the one upload directory. I have tried to cd to what should be my home
directory and it will not let me go there. I tried dumping the keys in the
upload directory and then connecting using the keys for authentication, but
to no avail. After googeling for a while I found out that "expect" can be
used in situations like this. I have no Tcl experience at this point, but it
seems like a good opportunity to learn something new. Anyone have any tips
or experience doing something like this?
Keith
