Ssh to 100s of hosts with password in a shell script or text file
I have about 500 hosts where I need to ssh by sending the password on the command line or in a text file in a clear text . However I am not able to download "sshpass" or other tools .

Any other ways to pass the password in a script ?

Best to find an easy way install sshpass... even if you must use "sneaker net".

You can also try out "expect"..or initially use "expect" to install the ssh-keys and then on use ssh-keys for logins

Just adding my two cents here. What OS / shell are you using, both on the client and on the server? What are you exactly trying to do? (Please provide current status and desired scenario). Maybe there's some other way to accomplish this.
