UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi ,

I have 2 servers , say Server A and Server B .
ssh keys have been exchanged for unix account sftpuser(created on server A) in such a way that A shell script (Script1.Sh) written on Server A can PULL flat files from Server B and save them on server A .

Now I am able to execute successfully this shell script Script1.sh by logging in to sftpuser account on Server A .

But my issue is that I want to execute this script Script1 from a different unix user (say user1) so that files get copied from server B to Server A .
When I tried to execute the script by loggin in to "User1" , since the ssh keys not exchanged for User1 , it fails.

Could you please guide me how to execute the script from user1 as like I am executing it from sftpuser?

Thanks and regards
Amit

I believe you will also have to exchange keys for User1.

copy the keys you already put over there in user2's .ssh directory to user1's .ssh directory.

Logged on as user2

Code:

ssh user1@remotenode ' [ your command goes here]'

Thanks !

youmean to say I need to login to user2 and
then do 'ssh user1@servername'

I will give a try . Actualy I do not have permission to copy key file so will need to help from Administrator

But my question is , actualy the two useras are on same server . Will this really work ?

Yes, it will as long as sshd is running and access properly configured. You can use 'localhost' as server name, or its DNS name in your network.

BTW if you're on linux, there's the ssh-copy-id script to perform the key exchange.

HTH,
