Talk to the client, and ask them what they would prefer:
- Get a public key from you, and implement it so that you can authenticate yourself with it
- Have the password for their service passed from an expect script where it's possibly easy for everyone to read

Hi All,
Here is my Expect script, I don't get any error message when I run it. But the file never goes to other system? I also paste the output screen below.
When I run the script, the script runs so fast. But when I do it manually, it takes about 10 minutes for the file to transfer.

Hi,
I read a couple of forum entries about scripting sftp using the '-b' option, but in my case it still prompts for the password. Does anyone have a sample script for an sftp block to 'get' files from the remote server without prompting for a password?
Both the remote and the local servers... (1 Reply)

ssh2_publickey_add
SSH2_PUBLICKEY_ADD(3) 1 SSH2_PUBLICKEY_ADD(3)
ssh2_publickey_add - Add an authorized publickey
SYNOPSIS
bool ssh2_publickey_add (resource $pkey, string $algoname, string $blob, [bool $overwrite = false], [array $attributes])
DESCRIPTION
Note
The public key subsystem is used for managing public keys on a server to which the client is already authenticated. To authenticate
to a remote system using public key authentication, use the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file(3) function instead.
PARAMETERS
o $pkey
- Publickey Subsystem resource created by ssh2_publickey_init(3).
o $algoname
- Publickey algorithm (e.g.): ssh-dss, ssh-rsa
o $blob
- Publickey blob as raw binary data
o $overwrite
- If the specified key already exists, should it be overwritten?
o $attributes
- Associative array of attributes to assign to this public key. Refer to ietf-secsh-publickey-subsystem for a list of supported
attributes. To mark an attribute as mandatory, precede its name with an asterisk. If the server is unable to support an attribute
marked mandatory, it will abort the add process.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Adding a publickey with ssh2_publickey_add(3)
<?php
$ssh2 = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($ssh2, 'jdoe', 'password');
$pkey = ssh2_publickey_init($ssh2);
$keyblob = base64_decode('
