Hey guys. You are totally right so far. I forgot to add my try.
The problem was how to add the credentials. Well the problem still exists but now I was able to add the public key to the webserver.
So now it is working without entering user and password.
The so far working code is:
Code:
FILETOCHECK=/test.txt
if ssh 'user0815@example.com' stat $FILETOCHECK \> /dev/null 2\>\&1
then
echo "File exists"
else
echo "File does not exist"
fi
Thank you.
I was not able to do with pwd authentication. If you know how to do so, please post it, because then we have a 100% solution on the topic.

Hi,
I want to sftp some files to a remote directory. Before transferring files i want to check whether the required folder exists. If so copy the files to that folder, else create the folder and copy the files.

Hello,
I have a script that uploads a file from local to remote place using ftp. The problem is that, if on remote host there is a file called the same as the one I want to upload, the ftp program overrides that file. But I don't want to override nothing (even if the remote file is older,... (3 Replies)

Hi everyone,
I am trying to figure out a way to ssh to remote server and check if file exists, and if it doesn't I want to leave the script with an exit status of 5.

Dear members, The following expect script connects to remote node and check for the file "authorized_keys" in directory /root/.ssh in remote node. However the result is always found even if the file exist or doesn't exist.

ssh-add
SSH-ADD(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ADD(1)NAME
ssh-add -- adds private key identities to the authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-cDdkLlqXx] [-E fingerprint_hash] [-t life] [file ...]
ssh-add -s pkcs11
ssh-add -e pkcs11
DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds private key identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa,
~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, and ~/.ssh/id_ed25519. After loading a private key, ssh-add will try to load corresponding certificate
information from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the name of the private key file. Alternative file names can be given on
the command line.
If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add
retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable must contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work.
The options are as follows:
-c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before being used for authentication. Confirmation is performed by
ssh-askpass(1). Successful confirmation is signaled by a zero exit status from ssh-askpass(1), rather than text entered into the
requester.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-d Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. If ssh-add has been run without arguments, the keys for the default
identities and their corresponding certificates will be removed. Otherwise, the argument list will be interpreted as a list of paths
to public key files to specify keys and certificates to be removed from the agent. If no public key is found at a given path,
ssh-add will append .pub and retry.
-E fingerprint_hash
Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key fingerprints. Valid options are: ``md5'' and ``sha256''. The default is
``sha256''.
-e pkcs11
Remove keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-k When loading keys into or deleting keys from the agent, process plain private keys only and skip certificates.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-q Be quiet after a successful operation.
-s pkcs11
Add keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-t life
Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format specified in
sshd_config(5).
-X Unlock the agent.
-x Lock the agent with a password.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does
not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS (by
default ``ssh-askpass'') and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a
.xsession or related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this
work.)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Identifies the path of a UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
FILES
~/.ssh/id_dsa
Contains the DSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Contains the ECDSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Contains the Ed25519 authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user.
Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, and 2 if ssh-add is unable to contact the authentication agent.
