Able to use scp and ssh without entering the password
 

So, I want to write a bash script that will allow me to scp and ssh to a different server in the network.


Though, I dont know how to get rid of the inputting passwod line if both commands, any help?

Hello,

Have a look at SSH with authentication key instead of password or Public key authentication with SSH. Those should get you started.

Kind regards,

Eric

I've looked into ssh-keygen but would this work for scp?

Hello,

Since 'SCP' is a part of the SSH protocol it will work. In my work environment I only use SSH key authentication to access our servers and I use scp a lot, so I can confirm it will work.

Kind regards,

Eric

scp and rsync both will work without asking for password once you share your ssh keys among different machines.
