Shell Programming and Scripting

*Sigh ...

Your new SFTP batch file will contain the following...

cd /
get $FNAME
exit

The ssh private key concept is part of your solution - removes the need for UID/PWD with each connection. You'll be able to figure the rest now. If you get stuck - use the search facility against the forum.

Hi Solaris experts...

Just i want to sftp to N no of servers and get one file. So i need a script for that.

OS: Solaris 9

I writen a script before for ftp, but when i am trying for sftp i am geting login screen again, just i need to aumate by prviding passwd through script.

My previous script
--------------------

ftp -i -n <<HERE
open $IPADD
user $USRNAME $PASS
cd /
get $FNAME
close
quit
HERE


I have all the server ipaddress,username,password and the file name too

Still i am unable to perform sftp script.

when i am trying sftp $USRNAME@$IPADD

it's giveing me a password prompt -> How can provide a password through script?

Looking from long time... Please guys some one help...! i have more than 100 servers where i need to do manualy.

I will very thankful to you all.

Any one can help me for above ques?

From my simplistic knowledge of sftp and if memory serves me correctly ... sftp does Not Allow the ability to "script" passwords into it.

If it were to do so, it would contradict proper security protocol's, which is why you are prompted for a password.

To avoid the requirement of passwords is to establish a trust between the two respective hosts using the Public Key to identify & confirm the hosts is whom it says it is. This is why we've highlighted the private key concept.

Just remember that standard ftp is unsecured, hence why you're able to script passwords into it so easily.

If this task is to be a unique - once off task, then suggestively - do it manually. Have a jiunior admin do it if you really must. Otherwise move forward with your task.

Cheers.....
