Hi,
i am using Reh Hat Linux RHEL 4
while copying files from one server to another i am using scp command
however ever time i use scp, it asks me for the password of the server where i am copying the files.
How can i stop this so that i can put my scp in a shell script so as to run silently (non-interactively)
Thanks and Regards,
OraSaket

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply
i tried with what you have suggested but still not getting the results.
I needed this SSH thing so that i will not require to put in the password while using SCP to copy files from server1 to server2 and while logging in with Putty using SSH2
I have tried the following, and tried doing SCP with in new session as well as logging in using Putty but every time i was propmted for password.
Can you suggest me where i am going wrong?
[orsaket@server1 ~]$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/orasaket/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/orasaket/.ssh/identity
Created directory '/home/orasaket/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/orasaket/.ssh/identity.
Your public key has been saved in /home/orasaket/.ssh/identity.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
de:03:c0:e1:e4:f1:89:f6:0d:93:44:66:7c:42:f1:95 orasaket@server1.abc.co.uk
[orasaket@server1 ~]$ cp /home/orasaket/.ssh/identity.pub authorized_keys
[orasaket@server1 ~]$ cp authorized_keys ./.ssh/
[orasaket@server1 ~]$ scp -p ~/.ssh/authorized_keys server2:.ssh/
Here i was asked for server2 password
Thanks and Regards,
OraSaket

THANK YOU for the actual CUT & PASTE of what you really did.
Contrary to what you think/thought you did NOT do as directed.
Please compare the following with what you really did:
$ scp $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote_host:.ssh/authorized_keys2
you WILL be prompted for password to complete this "scp".
then if you do
scp $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote_host:/tmp
the copy should proceed without you being prompted for password.
PEBKAC!

No Luck!!
I have tried following
[orasaket@server1 .ssh]$ scp $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub server2:.ssh/authorized_keys2
orasaket@server2's password:
identity.pub 100% 236 0.2KB/s 00:00
[orasaket@server1 .ssh]$
[orasaket@server1 .ssh]$ scp $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub server2:/tmp
orasaket@server2's password:
identity.pub 100% 236 0.2KB/s 00:00
[orasaket@server1 .ssh]$
Even i tried openening new session after this but still it asks me for the password
[orasaket@server1 ~]$ scp abc server2:/home/orasaket
orasaket@server2's password:
Please suggest
Thanks and Regards,
OraSaket
