Add a print here to see what is actually send to scp (or log it to your logger).

The above 5 lines are only run when i == 1, not sure if this was intended.

You never close the child so you *might*t have zombie processes
around. Which might cause the server not to respond to you. Regardless
It is always good to close so add self.child.close().

It works fine for me with the below function.

def doScp(user,password, host, path, files):
fNames = ' '.join(files)
print fNames
child = pexpect.spawn('scp %s %s@%s:%s' % (fNames, user, host,path))
print 'scp %s %s@%s:%s' % (fNames, user, host,path)
i = child.expect(['assword:', r"yes/no"], timeout=30)
if i == 0:
child.sendline(password)
elif i == 1:
child.sendline("yes")
child.expect("assword:", timeout=30)
child.sendline(password)
data = child.read()
print data
child.close()
