Hi,
I want to use sftp/scp without password.How can I do that ??
I plan to use script with scp/sftp and execute by cronjob ,any sample or example?? How can I test the scp/sftp working or not in the same user account , in the same red linux server?? any suggestion ???

You need to generate your public/private keypair without a passphrase.

Hi,
could you provide more detailed procedure ????

ssh keys are required for what you want - do this to make keys:

ssh-keygen: password-less SSH login

Hi,
I try but it is not worked.
I paste the output on the command
Why it is not worked ???

I assume that you appended your keys to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the system you want to be able to ssh into.

Check file permissions on the following directories on this system.

Code:

     ~/.ssh directory
     ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file

The permissions should allow writing only by the ownwr, i.e. you.
