Hi everybody,
I'm trying to automate a box to box backup.
When I run the "scp" command from the command line it uses my
public/private key pair and everything works well but if I execute the
same command from a cron job the receiving end reports, "Failed
password...".
Why does CLI use keys but the script use passwords?
Here is the command:
scp -r /home/mike/Backup/mysql 192.168.4.70:/home/mike/Backup
OK. For some reason scp needs to be told explicitly which key set to
use. This is done using the -i switch:
scp -r -i /home/mike/.ssh/sql_rsa ...
