Unable to mput all the files through sftp in the remote server using expect
I'm trying to mput all files present in the directory : /Test/XML/ into a remote sftp server with the help of expect utility.
I've around 320 files in the directory: /Test/XML/.
The size of each file is around 0.1 MB.
There's no error observed.
Here's my code:
cd /Test/XML/
/usr/bin/expect <<EOF
spawn /usr/bin/sftp ${user_name}@${HOSTNAME}
expect "password:"
send "${passwd}r"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd /testr"
expect "sftp>"
send "mkdir XMLr"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd /test/XMLr"
expect "sftp>"
send "mput *r"
expect "sftp>"
send "byer"
EOF
But the problem here is, mput * is transferring only 4 files instead of transferring all the 320 files.
Not sure, why it's not able to transfer all the 320 files in the remote server.
Any help is most welcome.

you can also try recursive by replacingmputwithput -r *so that it will transfer files along with folder if any.

@ThiruShetty: I ran the script in debug mode.There's no error observed. I need to transfer files only.

Thanks @ThiruShetty for the hint of using set timeout -1 in the expect utility.
Actually, i had a lot of files(~320-350) to be transferred(sftp) to a remote server.
With the normal execution of sftp using expect utility, it was able to transfer only a few files, not all of them which i wanted.
After inserting set timeout -1 inside expect, it solved the problem of timeout.
Here's the final code:
cd /Test/XML/
/usr/bin/expect <<EOF
set timeout -1
spawn /usr/bin/sftp ${user_name}@${HOSTNAME}
expect "password:"
send "${passwd}r"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd /testr"
expect "sftp>"
send "mkdir XMLr"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd /test/XMLr"
expect "sftp>"
send "mput *r"
expect "sftp>"
send "byer"
EOF
