Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sftp connection with password Post 303015780 by stomp on Thursday 12th of April 2018 06:59:57 AM

Embedding passswords in clear text in scripts is bad practise and ssh/sftp is designed to prohibit such usage.

The first approach to take is to generate an SSH-Key and deposit the public key part in target hosts $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

Code:
ssh-keygen
...
ssh-copy-id user@host

If that does not work, try to find the error why.
