#linux #windows #help #scp .. " .. I have two cassettes recorders ... " .. ( obscure reference ) .. no I have to computers, one runs Win11 .. one runs linux .. I have SCP on Win11 and sometime I need to copy files from Win11 into linux .. I made a very simple BATCH SCRIPT full of SCP ... .. etc. etc. .. It all works BUT any time I run it asks me for PWD for each SCP instance .. is any way to say "use this damned credentials" or something like --password = "banana" ??? ..
@gilesgoat You should be able to setup an SSH Public/Private key between the two machines and have scp use that. On linux you would probably run "ssh-keygen" followed by "ssh-copy-id $WINDOWS_IP" to generate a key and send it to Windows. The process might be the same on Windows but I've never tried it.
@gilesgoat If the account on linux is passwordless then you won't get a prompt for password when scp'ing. Same thing for ssh really
@gilesgoat there's sshpass for that:
sshpass -p "foobah" scp foo.txt foo@bah:/foo/bah/foo.txt
