sftp through a script
Guys
How can I use sftp through a shell script? OR is there is a more secure way to transfer files from one host to another (in a non-secure environment)?
Please help. I have tried various options. And I am currently doing the transfer of backups manually, I want to automate this.
Thanks all
KS
