Automated sftp or scp script

[pawarsac]

Hello
On network I have 5 linux machine ( sys1, sys2, sys3, sys4, sys5).
now at some time I want to copy report file , which already exists on every machine , to one perticular machine.
e.g.
I want to copy report file from sys1 , sys2 ,sys3 and sys4 to sys5
source:sys1,sys2,sys3,sys4
Destination:sys5

For this I required an automated script , which provides password .

Can anyone give me such script which initiates scp or sftp session ,proveds password to them and copies report file from source to destnation ?

waiting for your reply..

Probably better to use pubkey authentication instead. One howto (of many) here: http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikk...Authentication
