Hi all,
I have a silly little problem that has cost me an inordinate amount of
time.
I need to spawn a secure file transfer from within a C program. I'd
like to simply execute the appropriate scp statement and capture the
return code -- should be no problem.
Here's the silly part: I can't find a way to prevent scp from prompting
me for a password. I've messed with sshd_config, established RSA1 keys,
and done everything else I can think of. And there seems to be no way
to include the password on the scp command line. I really don't want to
have to set up chat or expect logic just to deal with the password prompt.
I've got to be overlooking something basic, but I'll be darned if I can
figure out what. Can someone set me straight? If not, does anyone know
of an easy-to-use C++ API wrapper for scp/sftp?
Thanks in advance,
Allan
Copy the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into the target ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
