giving password for ssh from file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I wrote a simple script which has a single ssh connection. When its executed it asking for password of remote system. I need to store that password in a file and provide it as input to ssh. How can i accomplish this? I dont want to use passwordless ssh

Better use RSA keys without any password, see

My problem is that i dont want human intervention. Even that rsa key technique has a scp step where i have to give the remote systems password. What i want is that password to be given automatically when the script runs

This is done only ONCE during setup - after that you don´t need to enter a password.
