I am trying to use scp to copy a host file from one firewall to the other using an ftp server. Problem is, it requires a username and password for authentication purposes. It would be nice if I could get it to run once a day. I searched google and came up empty. I have done almost no scripting whatsoever and need all any and all information. The following is basically what I want the script to do, but I heard scp will not work with authentication. I also read about rsync and tried to get the following one liner to work on the source server
scp ramblings: cd /usr/local/bin/makeconf cp hosts hosts_old sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] username: password: map to location get hosts logout of server run /etc/cron.daily/inet_access rsync one liner rsync * -aHpv [EMAIL PROTECTED] ip:/location where it is to be copied somehow it needs to copy over old host file now it needs to run /etc/cron.daily/inet_access Thanks again in advance, I am determined to learn to script, and appreciate any and all help.
