I need to transfer a log file to a remote host using sftp from a Linux host. I have been provided credentials for the same from my operations group. However, since I don’t have control over other host, I cannot generate and share RSA keys with the other host.
So is there a way to run the sftp command (with the username/password provided) from inside the Bash script through a cron job?
I found a similar Stack Overflow question, Specify password to sftp in a Bash script, but there was no satisfactory answer to my problem.
