Create a public/private key pair, give it a really good password. Add the public key to client machines "authorized_keys" file. Use ssh-agent to load the ID, run the process, kill ssh-agent. # eval $(ssh-agent) # ssh-add [now enter your really good password] Do work..... # pkill ssh-agent Cheers A. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iF4EAREIAAYFAlTVlysACgkQqBZry7fv4vu+igEAnzPIbU10jaZXS/OWCv1BS033 plJAPFbSgHI3vvcwF8MA/ibzrUvmDb8VQrC7gm3TJto3tM6fPkk9wzHqH9c+NAiO =A1kt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
