Well, expect is generally used client-side and doesn't require a server-side counterpart, assuming you're pulling files to, or pushing from, a machine you do have actual control of. SSH keys are the usual means, since they don't involve writing a password somewhere in plain text, but lacking those, expect on your own machine would do the trick. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy
