Hello ,

Thank for Responding ...

Actually i am taking manually backup of my file server to backup server with scp command. both machine's are in the same LAN.

command like scp -pqrv root@192.168.1.25:/home root@192.168.1.24:/home

after running this command its asking for root passwod of 192.168.1.25 machine and after that 192.168.1.24 means first destination and second source so i have to put password manully for the both root .


Now i want to make a script for manually backup means if script will run so no need to type password. it should accpet password automatically  from the script.

And after making that script i can put that script in to crown jobs.

i have go through with your suggestion but i didn't found any thing that i want so can you give me another solution for my query..



Regards,

Zubair
