Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Guys!!

I am trying to get around the complex situation, i have a task to complete, Like to setup the remote SSH key automatically by providing the root login details, ip and ssh port once to the script input and once its tested and accepted the next ssh should be password less,

script input will be
1) remote system IP
2) root password
3) ssh port
Expected Result : will automatically get login with above inputs and add will setup the public key to authorized_keys for further communication.

I have tried but the password which i am trying to provide to script is including special words like @@#$$%%&%^&%&()_= randomly which causing an issue

How i can make the script to accept the above inputs and setup the ssh key in remote system.

Thanks in advance.

################################
FILE="/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
LOCALIP=`hostname -i`
echo "Enter Destination server IP:"
read Dest_IP
echo "Enter Destination server SSH port:"
read Dest_PORT
CONNECTCMD="ssh  $Dest_IP -p $Dest_PORT "
RSYNC="rsync -vrplogDtH  -e \"ssh -p $Dest_PORT\" "
if [ -f $FILE ];
then
echo "Key is already setup on local Server, Good to Go.."
else
echo "Key Does not exists!!, Setting up local SSH key.. "
ssh-keygen -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa  -N ""
fi
echo "================="
echo "enter your password Once here: "
cat  /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub |  $CONNECTCMD  'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
$CONNECTCMD  ' csf -a '$LOCALIP''
echo "All good to go with Sync Now .."

Any suggestion are Highly appreciated!!!
