Re: [IBMiOSS] Understanding SSH Key Pairs

If you want it a bit more readable, you can put the options on separate lines by generating a script and then feeding that whole thing to lftp:

cat <<EOF > lftp-script
set sftp:auto-confirm on
set xfer:clobber on
set xfer:log-file $log_file
set sftp:connect-program "ssh -a -x -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null”
open -u \$s_user,\$u_pwd sftp://$rmt_srv
lcd $lcl_dir
cd $rmt_dir
ls
mirror --verbose --use-pget-n=2 -c --verbose . $lcl_dir
EOF

lftp -f lftp-script

Note that the s_user and u_pwd variables are escaped in there to prevent the credentials being stored in the lftp-script itself.

I tried my hand and the lftp way:

it might give an place to start.

As an aside, if you’re trying to automate sftp (especially when using passwords), you probably want to use lftp instead: https://github.com/lavv17/lftp You can pass in the username and password via environment variable instead of only interactively and it supports a batch script file to execute. It’s much easier to work with than sftp for batch stuff. We make available lftp as part of our open source environment: https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/README.html
