I'm trying to use GNAT.Expect to run sftp in a spawned process.

It mostly works, but I'm having trouble waiting for the results of a
command properly.

It would be simple if I could always wait for the prompt "sftp>", but
GNAT.Expect doesn't see that until the next command is echoed. I'm
guessing there is some layer that is waiting for a newline.

I'm running on Windows 7. Is there some way to force GNAT.Expect to not
wait for a newline?

Any other suggestions?

I'll try to integrate the sftp code directly, but there is no simple
library for that (curl is too messy when trying to use sftp).
