Hello,
I have some n number of files in a directory on my unix system . Is there a way to write a shellscript that will transfer all those files via scp to a remote system, i specify . Ill specify the password within the script, so that i dont have to enter it for each file. Is there a way to do this ?
Thank You
you could also use rsync. It seems to work better for multiple files than scp IMHO.
rsync -avzh /path/to/dir/ user@remote:/path/to/remote/dir/
Update
You can use rsync via ssh by adding the '-e' switch:
rsync -avzh -e ssh /path/do/dir/ user@remote:/path/to/remote/dir/
You can do it with ssh public/private keys only. Or use putty in which you can set the password. scp doesn't support giving password in command line.
You can find the instructions for public/private keys here: http://www.softpanorama.org/Net/Application_layer/SSH/scp.shtml
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn scp -r BASE.zip [email protected]:/tmp
expect "password:"
send "wifinetworks\r"
expect "*\r"
expect "\r"
