i have to develop a script for automated sftp without using expect. I tried the batch file option (-b), but first it is asking for the password & then start reading the batch file. I want a solution which will do a non-interactive sftp (no need to pass the password manually). Can anyone help me to do the same.
To avoid passwords with sftp, you will need to generate a public/private key pair (via ssh-keygen ). The public key needs to be added to the remote side ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and the private key should be on the side that is executing the sftp command.
This should get you running in the right direction.
