Hello!
I'm using Cygwin latest under WinXP and trying to upload some files to
sourceforge.net using sftp.
In interactive, non-batch mode everything works fine:
$ sftp u...@frs.sourceforge.net
Connecting to frs.sourceforge.net...
u...@frs.sourceforge.net's password:
sftp>
but in the batch mode it doesn't asks a password and doesn't logins:
$ cat batch
cd uploads
$ sftp -b batch u...@frs.sourceforge.net
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
Connection closed
What am I doing wrong?
Is it possible to force sftp to expect a password from the keyboard in the
batch mode? It's impossible to me to keep the password into the batch file,
unfortunately.
Not knowing much about 'sftp' myself, I took a look at the man page.
Here's what it says:
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile
instead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be
used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication.
This suggests to me that you want to set up sftp to work with public
key authentication. You can look at the man page for 'sshd' and
'sshd_config' for more information on that and at 'ssh-user-config'
for some examples of how to create keys.
