Hello!
I'm using Cygwin latest under WinXP and trying to upload some files to
sourceforge.net using sftp.
In interactive, non-batch mode everything works fine:
$ sftp user@frs.sourceforge.net
Connecting to frs.sourceforge.net...
user@frs.sourceforge.net's password:
sftp>
but in the batch mode it doesn't asks a password and doesn't logins:
$ cat batch
cd uploads
$ sftp -b batch user@frs.sourceforge.net
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
Connection closed
What am I doing wrong?
Is it possible to force sftp to expect a password from the keyboard in the
batch mode? It's impossible to me to keep the password into the batch file,
unfortunately.
Thanks!
