I like using EXPECT, because I am familiar with it and what I am
trying to do is very simple (get a file over from our secure ftp site
to another server).
EXPECT allows me to pass a password across from the internal server
(non-secure), which I like and need.
I like KERMIT, because I read that it can send a file, then delete it
after it was successfully transfered. I know FTP can do this in
Kermit, but I'm not sure why when I do this send it is failing.
