Remote Copy without entering Username and Password
I tried the following script to copy one file automatically:

#!/bin/csh -f
su - root -c "rcp 150.10.128.1:/export/home/sn408Xl/sn408Sol/$fn $fn

This works fine but is there a better way to copy remotely without entering the username and password? Moreover, after the file is copied a message shows up that the file is copied. I don't want this message to show up. For your info, I'm using Solaris.

Thanks!

Best way is to use scp (part of ssh). Search the forums for examples (such as this thread ).

As far as the second part of your question, you would need to redirect stdout/error - see this post.
