So are you saying that you cannot (on the local system) issue ssh-keygen
If you can, can you use SFTP (with user & passwd) to the target server? If it's a unix server, then normally you would need to edit ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and add in the newly generated public key. If it's Windoze, then I'm a bit stuck.
SSH is designed for key exchange really, with user & password being a manual process only. There are ways, but you are then exposing the credentials to anyone who can read the script. I doubt that meets your security and auditing requirements.
Can you elaborate on why you (or the sysadmin of the other server if it's not you) don't want to use keys?
I hope that this helps,

I'm trying to run a command over ssh to AIX 5.2, something like:

but it just hangs. I can ssh into the machine and run a command, but can't pass it like above. Is there a security setting that disables this by default? If so, how do I change it?
Thanks! (8 Replies)

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to run scp as a one-line command, as of right now, it prompts me for the user's password to the remote machine. Does anyone know if there is an option to pass the password parameter into the scp command on the same line so it doesn't prompt me? Thanks! (1 Reply)

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
