openssh unix dev - Jan 2002 - automate SFTP

Is there anyway to automate a command line SFTP to transfer files to a SSH
Server.

Please advice. Thanks

Depends on the direction.

sftp user at site:/path/to/file.tgz works very nicely.

for put you should do like:

echo "put file /path/to/lcation/filename.tgz" | sftp user at site

You can use SSH keys as your form of authenitication.

You may want to check out using rsync over ssh.
