DBA's, Has anyone been able to automate secure ftp "sftp"? I have several cron jobs that move an ascii file from one box to annother via cron jobs & shell scripts. The security gestapo is now making us use ssh and sftp. I haven't been able to figure out the syntax to get sftp automated. Suggestions? TIA ...JIM... -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: James Howerton INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
