SFTP password automation

jaycheetwood · #1 (**permalink**) 02-25-2009

I am working on a script to automate and SFTP that I am currently doing to a company that does not allow for a .ssh profile to be created.

I have search and read about the -b option and am wondering if i can get some more information about it.

I tried to right a file containing the password but i get this error:

Permission denied (publickey,password).
Connection closed

I am using HP-Ux 11.23

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

Try "shared-keys", much more secure.

Explain if you could.

Simply put, shared keys will allow you to use ssh ( and sftp, scp, etc. ) without using ( entering ) a password.

Check below for the procedure:
