Script to get files from remote server to local server through sftp without prompting for password

Hi,

I am trying to automate the process of fetching files from remote server to local server through sftp. I have the username and password for the remote solaris server. But I need to give password manually everytime i run the script.

Can anyone help me in automating the script such that it will automatically take the password and fetch the files from the remote server.

Thanks in advance.

Sukesh.

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
