using rcp command - Shell Programming and Scripting

amitrajvarma · #1 (**permalink**) 01-31-2008

Hi All,

I am writing a shell script which will copy binaries from one remote server to local server.

I am using "rcp command". But "rcp" command asks for the login password when copying to local server.

Can anybody tell me how to pass the password through the shell script?

Thanks

Amit

lcd <DESTINATIONDIR>
cd <REMOTEDIR>

Regards,
Pankaj
