sftp script

[Ahmed_58]

Hi ,
I need to changed below script to use SFTP instaed of FTP, can someone help.
I have placed a public key file from a system want to transfer to.
we also need to tweak sftp commands to received password via script so we can automate this one?
------------------------------
ls *DBHRBT* | read LINE
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
mv $LINE /appl/rate/DanNet/backup_out
date | read sdate
echo "-Start copying" $LINE "at" $sdate "-"
cd /appl/rate/DanNet/backup_out
ftp -n 999.99.99.9 << EOF
user user-id password
type binary
prompt
hash
put $LINE
bye
EOF
date | read edate
echo "-----Finish copying" $LINE "at" $edate "-----"
fi
-------------------------------------

dear Ehsan,
I try using scp instead, but still prompt for password.

If you use scp you could also set up passpraseless ssh connection do the transfer. Removing the need for a password.

see the entries on this google search on how to set up ssh with no passphrase.

[Jeeshan]

yeah, it should becoz it seems you didn't import the host key of destination host.

[Ahmed_58]

guys,
still prompt for password, although I copy the "id_rsa.pub" to the other server as "authorized_keys" in .ssh directory

check with this document for public key authentication

> [...] still prompt for password [...]

A Forum search could find many examples of
people with similar problems. Normally, the
debug output from an "ssh -v [...]" (or
"sftp -v [...]") command is more helpful
than "still prompt for password".

[Steven Schweda]

It might also help to know more (that is,
something) about the computers involved here.
Not everyone uses the same key file formats,
for example.

dears,
I done all the search and I tryed everything found,... still prompting for password! here is my output with -v :

Did you think that I wasn't serious?

I did a Forum search for "key_read: missing
keytype". The second thing it found was:

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=697913

which looks pretty similar to your stuff, and
which seems to have been a problem with the
key file format. But that fellow explained
what both his computers were. You didn't.
This makes guessing more difficult (and less
reliable).

HP's SSH software uses OpenSSH-format key
files, which differ from SSH2-format key
files, which, I'll guess, is what you have.
ssh-keygen may have key-format conversion
options. "man ssh-keygen" on one system or
the other.

dears,
It is working now, I used another machine and only generate the key and copy to the other machine simple as that and works.

thanks alot to all who give me some hints,
Ahmed
