Shell script for SFTP using Public and private keys
Hi all,

I needed a shell script for file transfering using public/private keys for authentication.
Could you please help me out on this?
A procedure to write a shell script is enough.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

try like this after your pub key is in located `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the remoteIP host.
Code:
# ssh -i /path/id_rsa user@remoteIP

Code:
# ssh -i /path/id_dsa user@remoteIP

Thanks for your reply.

I am new to the scripting. What will this command do?

I have placed the public key under authorised_keys. I needed to know how to use SFTP command inside the script.
