Now it is asking password for the second server !!
Remove the for loop entirely then rerun it. Or put an echo for loop is done after the for loop. I think you are exiting your for loop. Then later on you have something else that causes the password prompt.

I have a few echo commands just after the for loop completes.

So, if i were comming out of the for loop i should have seen the echo output which i see not.

I echo the scp command and nothing changes but the server names, so the scp command is fine. I am not feeding in the pswd as i see that the file gets copied without the need of the password nor do i know the password for admin user.

Can we somehow not feed in the password for scp for the last server whichever it may be; and let the control for the rest of the script code ? Any work around even if unconventional will do !!
