sshpassphrase

ssh with passphrase

ssh user@host works (in a script via Apple Terminal)

does anybody know an easier way than ssh-agent to combine the passphrase with the ssh command ?

regards

Solution

  • You can use:

    sshpass -p password ssh user@host

    However if you wanted the luxory of not typing in your password, I would HIGHLY suggest setting up public/private ssh keys:

    and http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html

    This is extremely secure, and very convient.
