Question copying files from one server to another server
Hi,

I want to transfer files from one linux server to another linux server using shell script using sftp.

But I dont won't that while connecting one server to another server it will ask for password , it should be part of script.

I wont to know how password should be included in the script.

so after execution of script files should be copied without asking password from one server to another server.

Regards,

Manoj

maybe "expect" is your friend. but the password will be inside the script... this is a security problem. so maybe a nfs share is a better solution?

Hi DukeNuke2,

Thanks for quick response, but in our environment nfs is not allowed.

sftp use ssh protocol for copyng, you can generate keys and put it on destination server.
man ssh-keygen

Use expect only if you have no ssh.

Or, install the ssh(may be OpenSSH) which will help you to transfer files without prompting passwords..

What you needs to do is

1.Install SSH
2.create the keys using rsa or dsa
eg. sshkeygen -t rsa
3.Copy the public key and add it to the authorized key file in the .ssh directory of the destination server
4. Do scp or sftp with file
