As I supply password for user tomcat it connects to the remote server and start showing $ prompt. If I logged off from remote machine then it lost the connection and next command is not executed. Actully I even dont want to supply passward manully, Is there any way to automate all these steps in a script file? 1. connect to remote machine using ssh 2. tar some dir 3. copy that tar file to my local machine.
