sftp/scp autologin
Ive have 2 unix machines i need to transfer files from one to the other. Im trying to use either sftp or scp as ftp is out of the question. Ive created the RSA key on one machine and copied it across but im still prompted for a password. Assume this is due to the fact that im not using the same ID on both machines. Is there anyway round this as im not able to create the same ID on both machines

regards

Dave

may be rcp can help you. In case of rcp you have to created the username entry in the .rhost file in the destination machine for the source machine.

The entry is like
username + machine in the .rhost file
Try it.
