Reg sftp in shell script
Hi,
I want to retrieve files from an sftp site and place it a directory in unix server.
When I try to connect, it is asking password even if i hardcode it in the script.I want to automate the script. Could anyone tell me how to avoid password prompt.
#!/bin/sh
# sample automatic ftp script to dump a file
sftp user@host << EOF
lcd /apps/MFG_BCPSITE/Temp
mget *
quit
EOF
Thanks,
Vidhya

The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
