You do not need to have PermitRootLogin Yes The forced-commands-only option means that you can only run the commands specified by the matching record in your authorized_keys file. This is from one of mine:-
This means that you can keep Security happy, because you still prevent login with ssh as root.
I suppose another way would be to use NFS and mount the ServerB directory on ServerA. You then could copy the data much more easily, as though it were a local resource. Do you know how to do this? It's a bit like mapping a network disk in Microsoft terms. This might give you security concerns though, as the data will be available on ServerA (subject to permissions) and you need to be careful with ownership. The files/directories ownership are stored as the UID & GID numbers and that can vary between servers, e.g. a file owned by bob, UID 1024 on ServerB may appear to be owned by sue on ServerA if sue has UID 1024 on ServerA.
Not sure if either of these suggestions helps or causes more headaches.

Hello,
Using the instruction mget (within ftp) and with "Interactive mode off", I want to get all files from directory (DirAA), but not the files in sub-directories.

Can anyone come up with a unix command that lists

Thank you in advance. (7 Replies)
Find all files in the current directory only excluding hidden directories and files.
For the below command, though it's not deleting hidden files.. it is traversing through the hidden directories and listing normal which should be avoided.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key-cert.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.
SEE ALSO ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
