Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SFTP prompting for password even though password is in script Post 302886032 by Corona688 on Wednesday 29th of January 2014 12:11:37 PM

It doesn't say to do that if you don't have ssh-copy-id, it says to do that if your server doesn't support that kind of authentication. It's a good thing you didn't manage to do so!

If you don't have ssh-copy-id you can copy the key manually:

Code:
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@remote.machine.com 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
