Hi,

I am able to copy to the destination mahine without any problem. But each and everytime it's asking for the password. I want to schedule job so that it can copy a file to the destination machine without anyones intervention.

set up ssh keys for the user that will run the script.
a quick search on google for "ssh passwordless connection" will show you how.
