SFTP scripting - help required
Hi all, First post so go easy guys.......
I've seen this asked before on some other forums but never properly/fully answered.
My problem involves the automation of an SFTP script sending from F-Secure (ssh2) HP-UX, to Windows FTP server (ssh2) running VShell. We've set up SSH keys but while they do authenticate when I connect it drops immediately saying that "user has no roots specifed". Strangely this error does not occur when authenticating using the password.
However, this is not my problem. Assuming that SSH keys can not be used (wether there is a solution or not), is there any way to include the password as an argument in an SFTP script ?
I've attempted to include the password in a batchfile (running sftp -B), without success.
sftp -B /dev/stdin remoteuser@remotehost <<-EOF
password
put $FILE
quit
EOF
SCP will also not work because (I think) the remote username has a backslash in it e.g. abcd\b0bbins . The error returned here says "invalid username abcd\b0bbins" and drops connection.
Is there any solution without instaling 'expect' or similar
Thanks in advance
