You want to use scp, not ssh - see the man pages. To "automate" ssh and scp (they work on the same protocol and libraries) you need to generate a private/public key pair and copy the public key onto the remote machine. It goes in the remote user's home directory's .ssh/authorized_keys file. Vik :v) -- This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
