Password on command line with SCP
Is there any way to pass the password for an SCP command via the command line as a switch? I'd like to embed SCP in a script and pass the password once through a command line input from the master script... By defauly any time I use the -B mode it says passwords are required, and without -B it asks for the password after the command starts to execute.

You can also use ports/lang/expect to script entering the password, but it's more fragile than using keys. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
