Thanks rishav and vidyadhar85.

I now understand how to set public and private key.
Waiting for permissions to try that out.

Also i was told that the existing script that we have for ftp which asks for password will work fine if i just replace ftp with sftp.
Though we have to pass the password.

Is it true the existing ftp script will work with passing of password if i just replace word "ftp" with "sftp"?

Appreciate reply.
