Re: scp batch mode?

Another way:

# Open a connection to the remote host and
# create a control socket at /tmp/ssh_socket
ssh -S /tmp/ssh_socket -M -N -f host.example.com

# Use the control socket to transfer files.
scp -o ControlPath=/tmp/ssh_socket file1 dummy:remote_file1
scp -o ControlPath=/tmp/ssh_socket file2 dummy:remote_file2
# etc.

# or with rsync...
rsync --rsh=ssh -S /tmp/ssh_socket -av /local/dir/ dummy:/remote/dir/

# Bring the connection down.
ssh -S /tmp/ssh_socket -O exit dummy


The dummy host above can be anything, it doesn't matter since you
have already specified the socket to send things through.


Cheers,
Andreas

scp batch mode?

The manpage for scp(1) mentions the -B option for running scp in batch
mode, but no further details.  How can scp be run without prompting

Thanks.

It sets Batchmode yes. So read the ssh_config manpage about BatchMode.

You must still setup your authentication. But with BatchMode yes, your 
client won't prompt for information.
