SFTP - using port numbers?
Hi Guys,

I saw this line of code in a script

Code:
sftp username@hostname#2200
get file

and the script never asked for password. Can you please explain on this?Smilie

This means your username from where you are running this script is having a direct access to the hostname which you are trying to reach and get the require file.

SFTP never asked for password because SSH password-less login must be setup. #2200 is just a comment. The proper syntax to specify port number is:-
Code:
sftp -oPort=2200 username@hostname

@bipinajith:

when I try to run this in terminal
Code:
sftp username@hostname

it prompts for password. Why so?

@Vikram tanwar: your answer seems to reasonable. But still Smilie

That's two lines of code, not one, and wouldn't work as-is. Please show the original code.
