[SOLVED] SFTP connection with user and passwd on the header

MarcosPauloBR · 03-25-2011, 12:04 PM

Hi people!

Anybody knows how I can do a ftp connection putting the user and passwd as default?

Thanks for your time!

Can I ask why you would want to do this in the first place?

I need to make a SFTP connection to transfer a couple files in two servers, but I need this on a not interactive shell, I need to set the USER and PASSWD on the connection.

Its will run on cron...

Do you know how can I do this??

Thanks!

You can use netrc for an auto login if necessary.

Cheers,

With sftp the best method is to setup a ssh public/private key pair.

Lots of information on the web but here is a link to get you started.

Thanks!

I've talked with the IT of the company, and they tell me there we need the generate a key to make this connection!

Thanks!
