SFTP - Pass password auti
Post 302200426 by Cameron on Thursday 29th of May 2008 07:16:45 AM

From my simplistic knowledge of sftp and if memory serves me correctly ... sftp does Not Allow the ability to "script" passwords into it.
If it were to do so, it would contradict proper security protocol's, which is why you are prompted for a password.
To avoid the requirement of passwords is to establish a trust between the two respective hosts using the Public Key to identify & confirm the hosts is whom it says it is. This is why we've highlighted the private key concept.
Just remember that standard ftp is unsecured, hence why you're able to script passwords into it so easily.
If this task is to be a unique - once off task, then suggestively - do it manually. Have a jiunior admin do it if you really must. Otherwise move forward with your task.
Cheers.....
