Problem using SSH from a script.

1 New Member
Hi,

I am new to SSH. I tried to connect to a server and run a command on it using SSH from a script. It asked for a password and then, it succesfully connected to the intended server. But in this process, it is asking for a password to be entered at the terminal. I wish to use this as part of a background script and hence would like to supply the password in some form in the script itself and not at the terminal. Is this possible ?

The command that I am currently using:

ssh username@server name command

Is there some form of SSH which uses password within (may be like ssh username/password@server etc) or SSH without password option ??? Please guide.


Thanks in advance.
KV

You can also supply an RSA public key. Here is one site explaining how to do that.

Hiya I have a problem with using some client side and server side scripting together in an ASP. I'm using VBScript. What I'm trying to achieve is this - - Page loads up and some server side vbscript reads the database and populates a listbox on the page with the first field from each record in the recordset. This works fine. - User selects an option on the listbox and, using the OnChange, I

I implemented a simple class inherited from Page to create a page template. It simply wraps some trivial html around the inherited page, and puts the inherited page into a form. The problem I have run into is that the emitted html at the end of the process is slightly different and doesn't work. Please don't be put off by all the source code. All the guts are in this first base class, and it doesn't do much. The rest is trivial...

www.webmaster, was suggested that this ng could be a better place.] I've updated my test server to handle if-modified-since. I've noticed that the (old copies I run of) IE and Netscape seem never to send if-modified-since. But the strange thing is that Opera sends if-modified-since but when I reply with "HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified" it is not refreshing the screen from its cache, it is leaving the screen blank.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
