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 ... -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
