Hi everyone,

Im trying to download the folder from my remote system using rsync but it prompting for password.How can i enable password in a single line for rsync.I also tried using scp ,I Could int find the password to pass on single line.Can anyone help me how can i pass the password in sync in single line.

its delivering skiiping directory

rsync --rsh="sshpass -p 123@ ssh -l root" 10.200.2.2:/opt/apps/bkup/daily/* /tmp
skipping directory cms
skipping directory conf
skipping directory css
skipping directory images
skipping directory js
skipping directory ROOT

I would suggest that rather than use a password you would be better using key-pair authentication instead and use the following in your rsync:

I had a req to execute "scp" command by an application, So I used system(). But problem with system it wont let you enter password asked by "scp" command. So I use "sshpass" utility to pass the password and scp command in a single line. as:

sshpass -p 'password' scp user-name@scp-server-ip-address:path-of-the-file/file-name destination-location

you may need to check if target host/board has this sshpass, if no then you need to download the sshpass code build it.

Hi

I would prefer using of root password on shell scripts is very unsecure .Prefer using ssh keygen in rsync.for more details regarding ssh keygen in rsync check the man page
