[SOLVED] Shell Script to Copy file from one server to another

Issue

I have 2 solaris servers. I want to write a shell script which will copy a file from one server to the other.

scp /tmp/test/a.war [email protected]:/tmp/

The above command when executed in PUTTY will ask me to enter a password for the destination. This is fine when using PUTTY.

How can iI enter the password while running the scp command through shell script?

Thanks in advance

Solution

You have to setup SSH private/public key.

Once generated place the public key line entry on the target server's and user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

Make sure the file on the source machine (for the user which will run the scp/ssh command) will have file permission (400) recommended.
