Hi,
I am trying to get the files using scp.
***************************************************

$timeout = 5;
$scp_command = "$SCP -v -r 
remoteuser@remote_host:/tmp/test /tmp/";
$Scp = Expect->spawn($scp_command);
$Scp->log_stdout(0);
$Scp->exp_internal(1); 
while ( $Scp->expect(2,"Are you sure you want to continue connecting (
+yes/no)?") )
                {
                 print $Scp "yes\n";
                 }

sleep(60);   
$Scp->expect(1,"password:");
print $Scp "$password\n";
$Scp->soft_close();
$Scp->hard_close();
