Error sftp script needed for solaris box
Hi ,

I have a solaris box through which i need to connect to ATM's and pull files using sftp. I did same type of scripting using ftp before but no sftp.The problem now i am facing is, i want to put the password along with this sftp (non-interactive) script. Unfortunately there is no options for putting password in sftp. Please enlighten me for this issue.

Your precious help will be highly appreciated

Thanks
Renjesh Raju

you need to install " Expect" then try the autoexpect which comes with that. It will write the script for you. Can't beat that. :-)

IMO ..... Better off setting up a pub/pri key based solution....
most sftp implementations also support the -b flag for specifying a file to read it from.

when using sftp, an .rhosts file needs to be created on the atm servers, so tht during the sftp it doesnt prompt you for a password
after that use the -b option for running it in non-interactive mode.

sftp -b batchfile
