Transferring file to other server in script

hi.
Is there any script that can be run to help me transfer file from one server to the other on the same LAN.

regards

^ not sure why a script would be necessary... are you not able to run scp from the commandline ?

i want to do it automatically each an every day

so you are sure it works on the commandline ? because reuti's response above seems to suggest there is some issue with connecting to the remote machine ?

obviously, if there is a problem connecting manually, then trying to automate it will make debuggin' much harder ?

also, look into setting up public-key-encryption so you can use scp automatedly.

You can use Scp or Rsync for transfering data between two server .Enable passwordless login between the server.Even Manually you can apply password using sshpass .But it was not secure method of using it in shell script

sshpass -p 'password' scp user-name@scp-server-ip-address
