SFTP script still asking password
Hi All,
I have FTP script snippet

Code:
targetFTP=testcomp
userID=testid
userPass=XXXXX

server_availability ()
{
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
echo "*         Server Availability & User Access Checks        *" >> $FtpLog
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
ftp -vn $targetFTP <<EOF
user $userID $userPass
pass
bye
EOF
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
}


transfer_file ()
{
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
echo "*                    File Extraction                      *" >> $FtpLog
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
ftp -vn $targetFTP <<EOF
user $userID $userPass
pass
bi
lcd $inputDir
cd $outputDir
pwd
mput fiedel-$TDATE*.csv
bye
EOF
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
}

Now requirement is to transfer via SFTP due to security restriction.

1. What I did I have generated Public key ssh-keygen and hosted that key to the target machine for password less authentication

2. replace FTP as SFTP as below and run but still it is interactive.

3. how i can make it non interactive so it will not ask password.



targetFTP=testcomp
userID=testid


Code:
server_availability ()
{
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
echo "*         Server Availability & User Access Checks        *" >> $FtpLog
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
sftp userID$targetFTP<<EOF
pass
bye
EOF
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
}


transfer_file ()
{
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
echo "*                    File Extraction                      *" >> $FtpLog
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
sftp userID@$targetFTP<<EOF
pass
bi
lcd $inputDir
cd $outputDir
pwd
mput fiedel-$TDATE*.csv
bye
EOF
echo "***********************************************************" >> $FtpLog
}

scriptoutpt

Code:
$./test.sh
Thiscomputer system  is FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.
sysftp@testcomp's password:
