[chuikingman]

Hi,
   I want to use sftp/scp without password in redhat linux.How can I do that ??I plan to to use sftp/scp in script and execute by cronjob ???any sample or example script
How can I test sftp/scp in the same user account ,. in the same linux server ?

Simple!
1. In the client type "ssh-keygen -t rsa". This generates a couple of files, you're interested in /home/username1/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
2. Append the .pub file to the remote file /home/username2/.ssh/authorized_keys
3. That's it!
(username1 is the user name in the client, and username2 is the user name on the server)

Check for more detailed instructions:
