Copying files by using SCP in a Script

[Virumandi]

HI ,

I want to copy files from one of my server to other by using scp.

I am using a script which will generate a tar file and I want it to paste it automatically to my other server using SCP.

But how can I can make this automation in a Script.

I dont want it to ask for the password while copying to the server.

Can anybody guide me...

Thanks & Regards

hi Suseendran,


SCP uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. Hence, you should configure ssh such that your remote connection are establish without it asking for "the password". if this works, the scp command in the script will work too!

Virumdandi,

You have to setup dsa id on that server by using sshkeygen command , and then it will not ask for password either for ssh or scp.
Once it has been done the task is easy , write a script to generate the source file and scp it over to your target server.

let me know if you need more info,

Cheers,
Raj.
