Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SFTP in a shell script without public/private key Post 302383682 by Alexis Duarte on Wednesday 30th of December 2009 08:12:29 PM

Thanks!

Hi all.... sorry for this very long delay, but I went on a trip.

After acknowledging the anwser of Zaxxon, I realized that I could solve my particulary problem by writing two scripts on the two servers I wanted to copy from using ftp, since the issue was that I could not connect through ftp from server 1 (the server I needed to copy to), but it was possible to connect through ftp from the other servers (the ones I wanted to copy from).
Hope this is not confusing....Smilie

Anyway, by writing this two scripts, and using the put command, I worked out my problem in time so I could go on my vacations without a guilty conscience...

But ofcourse the ideia was to write just one script on the main server, so thats why I posted this question, but it seemes that ssh and sftp will not allow to work in scripts without promping the user and password, only the use of public/private keys...

Anyway, and once again, your help was preciouse and again sorry for so late replay from me.
Thank you all Smilie


P.S. By the way, in case I could not use ftp on either direction, and the use of public/private keys was not an option (case where the server are crucial and very sensible to errors one might do, and the perimission to mingle with the .ssh directory is not recommended) there is absolutly no way to write scripts capable of copying files from other servers??!! Just a question, since I found nothing satisfying on net....

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
