Hey guys,

I'm trying to echo my password into some commands inside of a bash script. But I think I'm going about it incorrectly.

Here's the top part of my script:

#!/bin/bash pub="~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" dps_pass="my_pass" ssh="/usr/bin/ssh" scp="/usr/bin/scp" for i in 10.10.10.2{5,6} do echo "xfring key up" echo $dps_pass | $scp $PUB digitalplatform@$i:

Don't try to automate your password like this for scp or other ssh-related apps. Generate and use a public/private keypair instead and your script will then be able to connect without prompting for a password.
