For starters, I'm just trying to backup the configs (sh run, sh ver) from a couple of 6509 switches (IOS 12.2(18)). I'll have about 80-90 devices in a bit.

Another setback is that I don't have admin rights (yeah, I know) and I've only been able to use TeraTerm for scripting so far. I wish Putty had this feature.

Thank you.

Here is an expect script that will do what you want. It can be made to work on Windows provided you have expect for Windows (http://expect.nist.gov/) and OpenSSH for Windows (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/). It relies on a creds.txt file to exist in %HOME% (you may need to set this variable prior to running the script). For example, if you stick the script in C:\TEMP, create a C:\TEMP\creds.txt with:

username=parklabel

password=parklabel123

enable=enable123

Then:

set HOME=C:\TEMP

expect C:\TEMP\config_backup.exp 10.1.1.1

(Where 10.1.1.1 is the address of the switch).

This will create two files in C:\TEMP: 10.1.1.1.cfg and 10.1.1.1.ver.
