is somebody aware of a way to automate a ssh-login (script-wise or via another application) when the remote sshd doesn't provide key-based authentication? I want to do automated downloads via sftp, but the ftp servers sshd keeps asking for my password... (But then, it's not so vital to have it automated, it would just be nice.)
Have a look at expect and autoexpect (and their man pages). Disadvantage: You have to write the password in cleartext in a scriptfile on your harddisk. BTW: Are you able to upload files to the server? Then it would be worth a try to upload a .ssh/authorized_keys file to your home directory ;-) Gruß Christian Boltz -- The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
