Hi,

You can scp instead of sftp. scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. Unlike rcp, scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.

Usage:
scp file username@hostname:file
scp username@hostname:file file

Marco,

best way to implement this is the follwoing.

server a:
say you are user pusher
1) ssh-keygen -t rsa

# accept all defaults fro the prompts that follow

2) cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh serverb "( cat - >> .ssh/authorized_keys2 )"
enter yourpassword for the id on serverb

3) ssh serverb "uname -a"
your shoudl see the remote server name without entering a password.

viola:

4) scp ~/*.bkp serverb:/mybackupdir/.

or

4) rsync --rsh=ssh ~/*.bkp serverb:/mybackupdir/

peace, and enjoy the power of ssh
