Re: Re: creating and writing a file on server

sorry for the brief question. i tried Aristotle (first reply) solution and i got it to work. the OS is am working is freeBSD.

ssh remotehost cat >> filename <localfile

later i append stuff into filename at various times. now the problem is permission as every attempt to write to this file requires a password. and the script needs to be automated.

You will want to generate a key pair for this purpose. You copy the public key to the remote machine, and use `ssh-agent` on the local machine to keep the private key authenticated. (Otherwise you will need to enter the key's passphrase to connect.) As fglock said, `man ssh` will provide you with plenty of information - Googling for ssh tutorial will also reveal a wealth of quickstart help. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
