File transfer with SSH

Gary Glick — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 14:51:34 GMT

I have been told that a trading partner of my companies wants to do file transfers utilizing the SSH protocol. After spending a bit on trying to figure this out it is not clear how this would be done. Could someone explain how this could/can be accomplished. the transfer will be via a script so any thoughts on how to structure a script to do a put from server A to server B.

Thank you

Gary

There is such thing as scp or sftp.
Both are secure and I'm guessing both can be scripted the same as rcp or ftp.

Once you install ssh product on both servers then you need to generate rsa keys on Server A and copy them to authorized_keys file on ServerB:/homedir/.ssh directory.

set 0600 permission for that file.

then issue command or use cron job on Server A to copy:

serverA:\ $ scp /fromdir/file user@serverB:/destinationpath

Hi Gary,

You can use scp a.k.a Secure Copy. It comes with Secure shell depot by default.

# man scp for more details.

Shalom Gary,

Download this:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA

It is free.

swinstall -s full path to depot \*

If the name is T1477blah.depot

swinstall -s /tmp/T1477blah.depot \*

Once you have followed the above instructions for password free file transfer the scp command will copy files around.

Note that this is slower than say nfs or rcp, because the authentication and data transfer are both encrypted.
