passwords in clear text
At a minimum I would like to protect the login information within the answer file to prevent anyone from viewing the information.
Any thoughts or suggestions???

Re: passwords in clear text
The only thing that I can think of is changing to SFTP. After all going with secure shell http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA
sounds like a really good idea, fromt the security point of view.
Regards,
Jaime.

Re: passwords in clear text
You would be better trying to architect a sftp solution.

Re: passwords in clear text
syntax:
scp file1 file2 files*.x user@targetBOX:~ (for user home) or :/directory/ (for specific target directory)
do a man on scp for additional info...
If you setup authorized_keys, it will take care of authenticating the connection = no password prompt.

Re: passwords in clear text
Security should be looked at as black and white. If the transfer must be secure, hiding the password will do nothing to protect your data transfer -- the data is still in clear text form. The only solution is SSH (with scp) where not only the login/password are encrypted but also the data. Either your data must be secure, or not secure. 'stuck with ftp' doesn't work for auditors.

Re: passwords in clear text
as already suggested you can use .netrc to avoid to have password in clear in the scripts. If you want to have password not in clear on you server as well this is teh solution I use:
1. I have a central password file crypted
2. I have some functions/scripts to get password from this file
3. I use them in my scripts
Pros:
. only one file with password to manage
. proven solution
. no clear password on teh system
Let me know if you are interested in this and I can provide you the scripts
HTH,

Re: passwords in clear text
Yes could i get a copy of your scripts.
Hopefully in the future i can get our suppliers away from ftp but for now that is what they want to use.

Re: passwords in clear text
Now use that thing to pass the input to .netrc.
