spawn ssh error "subsystem request failed on channel 0"

[vinhnguyen18]

Please help.

I keep getting this error when I execute the following "spawn ssh...." command.


Here is my code:

spawn ssh $ip -l $username -s netconf < /cygdrive/c/pat/somefile.xml
expect {
"assword:" {
send -s "password\r"
expect "]]>]]>"
sleep 1
}
timeout {
puts "timeout"
exit
}
}

Getting this error:
subsystem request failed on channel 0

After digging around some Expect book, I found the solution to this:

spawn /bin/sh -c "ssh $ip -l $username -s netconf < somefile.xml
