scp with user/password@server

[rohvar2005]

Hi All,

I need to copy files to a sftp.server.com using scp command.

User name: user321\windows20
Password: Pass$4354
Server" sftp.server.com

I would appreciate if some could help me with the syntax for this. I am trying to use user321\windows20ass$4354@sftp.server.com but i am getting an error.
It appears that I have an issue with the special characters in the command.

Regards,
Rohvar

Hi PHV,

simple way is to create shared key in the client and place the public key on the server then its as easy as

scp <filename> user@host:/path/to/storage/<filename>

So steps to create keys:

on client

1) cd .ssh
2) ssh-keygen -t ida
3) accept defaults presented and just <CR> so no passphrase
4) move new ida.pub key to server >> scp ida.pub user@host:.ssh/authorized_keys
5) check on server that authorized_keys now exists and is -r------ for owner only

Then just test the login with ssh user@host .. you should just drop in without prompts for password. Or scp test_file user@host:

(one rider is that server should allow key access but usually they do)

I hope that helps

Laurie.

Have you tried escaping the special characters?

user321[red]\[/red]\windows20:Pass[red]\[/red]$4354@sftp.server.com

Hi Laurie,

Unfortunately the reomote client is not ready to create the secure keys. So we do not have a choice. Pelase help.

This really should be done with secure keys as previously detailed
not just to make the script easier to write but for security and maintainability.

Not only will you need the user name & password in the script which is a bad idea, if the password is ever changed (perhaps because of security concerns on the server) then the script(s) will have to be rewritten.


you should try to convince the remote client that things need to be done properly from day one.

A Maintenance contract is essential, not a Luxury.
Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear
