I've recently installed Network Simplicity's OpenSSH v3.1-2 (server)
on a Windows 2K Server. I also have [Open]SSH Version 2.0.13 (client)
installed on my Unix server.

I'm trying to setup an automated file transfer from a Unix log server
to a Windows archive server. I've been trying to use SCP to transfer
the files and have gone through the motions of setting up
authentication keys and such but have been unsuccessfull in getting it
to work. My SA of the Unix server is unavailable to upgrade the Unix
box to anything new, which I think is my problem, but not sure.

Meanwhile, I've been trying to figure out a workaround. I've been
trying to use SCP and passing it the password via " < password.txt",
where password.txt simply has one entry... the password. So my
command line is:

 $ scp filename.log userid@192.168.0.1 < password.txt

But doesn't seem to work, it still prompts for the password. I'm not
too worried about the password.txt file being "compromised", the
userid I'm using has limited permissions and on a separate
volume/partition.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
