I'm trying to use VDS to automate SFTP/SSH file transfers.

I can automate the actual file transfers. However, I can't automate entering the password when prompted.

When the password prompt appears, I have to manually enter the password.

I looked at a DLL (VDSIPP). It appears to be configured to work with conventional FTP.

Is there a way to embed a password in a variable and have VDS enter the password when prompted?

Any assistance/feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

hi milton,

you can certainly do that...i remember vds in the early days priding itself at being able to automate the running and control of windows and programs

i can't go into great details now but have a look at the command WINDOW SEND command as it enables you to send any message to any window (in theory)

i myself use vds to process all the registration applications i receive by email and then send out accompanying emails with the registration details customized for each customer...all i have to do is CLICK for the processing of the received emails and CLICK for the registration details to be processed and sent out as emails

so it can be done Smile

Hi Serge,

Thanks for the reply (sorry for not thanking you sooner). I had forgotten all about the WINDOW SEND command. I used it in my program and it's just what I needed!

Many thanks!

Regards,

Milton
