automatic transfering of files using scp
I'm in the process of writing a shell script with copies files from one linux box to another using scp. I wish to run this through a cronjob so it cannot be interactive.
This is what I have so far.
#!/bin/sh
PASSWD='passswd'
dateset=$( date | awk '{print $2 $3 $6}')
for dates in $dateset; do
dateset2=$dates
done
cd /home/user
scp -r
user@host:/home/user/$dateset2.db.gz . << END_SCRIPT
quote PASS $PASSWD
END_SCRIPT
exit 0
it still asks me for the password though.
It works if I use ftp (but I'd rather use something more secure)
Might anyone be able to offer suggestions?

script-email
SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
