Re: sftp batch mode and password authentication

Hi,

As far as alternatives are concerned, the recommended way to accomplish you=
r goal is:

- Use public key authentication and create a key pair without passphrase fo=
r batch job
purposes only.
- Limit the key usage via options in the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys fi=
le

With this setup you have non-interactive authentication, which can be start=
ed by cron jobs
for instance. Moreover, misuse of the passphrase-less key is limited throug=
h the options.
