How to simulate scp command using ssh?
do you have sftp? this command will probably tell you:
whch sftp
what does the command
which scp
show?
Actually i want to set up a ssh key pair between two machines making sure that i should be asking password only once. Now problem is when i generate key pairs first i have to check if
1) if ~/.ssh file exists in remote machines. If not, create one
2) scp the public key to remote machine
3) cat rsa.pub >> authorized_keys in remote machine.
Now each of this step requires ssh/scp. Can someone tell me how to do this all by prompting for password only once.
You can sftp a keyfile this way:
sftp myusername@nodename
Password: <your pswd>
cd .ssh
put mykeyfile
exit
Once you add the pub key to the authorized_keys on the remote server you won't get a password prompt.
To test simple try
ssh user@remotemachine.
Hope that helps
