    Expect for Windows

    Anyone know of a standalone port? I've found ports of ssh, scp, bash etc, but now I need to do some with expect, and I can't find a standalone binary.....

    Cheers..

    The usefulness of expect on windows escapes me if you don't have the problem of running admin-level programs as an unprivileged user.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    Well, I need to scp to a UNIX box, ssh over, execute the script, and copy back.

    I am not able to install any tools on the server, but I can map a network share.

    I am currently using bash for windows, plink and pscp to do all this, but I am also logging on as root. Obviously this isn't feasible in a production environment - I'll need to use sudo.

    Rather than being constantly asked for a password I'd prefer to use expect.
