Solaris

Hi All,
My application is connecting to a no of sites to get or put files.
one script is using sftp user1@host1
to log into the account to put some files over there.But some other scripts are connecting to some other sites using
ftp host2
user user2 passwd
inside the script.But I have to make all these ftp into sftp so that I can use the password less connection to the romote machine.

thanks & regards
Megh

Using a ~/.netrc file will enable you to use passwordless ftp although the username and password will still pass over the network in plain text.

Take a look at:
Unix -> .netrc
for an explanation of using the .netrc file for ftp.

If you wish to use sftp then the servers need to have SSHD running on them.
