SCP a folder from local machine to remote machine...! Can't Post
Hi all,

I am trying fo automate few test cases. I need to send a folder to a remote system using SCP. I have done ssh to the remote machine and passed scp as shell command. I am finding it tough to give password for the scp.. Please help...



#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host = "192.168.200.254";
my $user = "root";
my $password = "root";




#-- set up a new connection
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host);
#-- authenticate
sleep(3);
$ssh->login($user, $password);
sleep(2);

#need to enter password after scp. please help...!
$ssh->cmd("scp -r user@192.168.200.165:/home/user/1020_exe 1020_exe");

sleep (5);

$ssh->cmd("cd 1020_exe");
sleep(1);

$ssh->cmd("chmod 777 *");
sleep(1);


$ssh->cmd("./hello");
sleep(1);

The best approach would be to use ssh key exchange instead of passing the credentials in the script. However, based on your other post, you've decided to use Expect.

Why do you have all of those unnecessary sleep commands?

Hi,

Thank you for your help. i decided to use password beacuse I am login into a processor, where all the files will get deleted after reboot. So that public key should be passed each time. I ll remove those sleeps.

Hi,

I want to create a user in remote machine using ssh. Please help me in giving the password after adduser command. I need to wait for the prompt "New password:" .


#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host = "192.168.200.254";
my $user = "root";
my $password = "root";

#-- set up a new connection
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host);
#-- authenticate
sleep(3);
$ssh->login($user, $password);
sleep(2);
$ssh->cmd("adduser thomas");
sleep(1);
$ssh->print("thomas123"); #wrong method
sleep(4);
$ssh->print("thomas123"); #wrong method

Use the -p switch and specify the encrypted password in the adduser command.
