an automated ssh shell script to connect to remote system

[keak]

I found a method to do this with Net::SSH:erl but I need to do this with a shell script ....
say if i have the following ifo
host: apple
user: test
pw: test
and I wanted to login to this apple and upload a textfile called "test.txt" from my local system to it, can I do it with a shell script ?

Any input will be much appriciaed,
Thanks

Use secure copy scp or remote copy rcp:

scp test.txt test/test@apple



PS: man scp

Thanks for the help LKB
I actually figured it out, but yeah scp was a good option if I wanted to do only file uploading.

Basically what I did was to setup a ssh pub key so that host A didn't reuqire a password for ssh to host B

Then I wrote the following script in host A (it was actually super short.....)

#!/bin/sh
ssh (your host name here) <<END_SCRIPT
ls
mkdir test dir
(any other commands you want)
exit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0



Just in case anyone nedded to do the same thing.
