I generated a public key that we are using for ssh and sftp but I noticed that I am still being asked for a password when I run my script. is there something I need to put in my script?
Our linux guy said he placed keys on both servers.
append your public key to remote server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file
Also:
permissions on your home directory have to be 755 or stronger
permissions on your .ssh directory should be 600
Either of these will cause ssh passwordless login to fail.
