SFTP command line

2011-09-13 17:19

I'm trying to understand the syntax for connecting to SFTP through a proxy via the command line. In one environment where there is no proxy I'm connecting fine. I use a script that does an open and the password is sent in the string.

open sftp://UserName:UserPwd@SomeIP:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 SomeKey"

When trying it with the proxy, I open the session but I get access denied when I send the password. When I open this session via the GUI it works. The password is saved in the session.

! 2011-09-13 09:37:26.720 Using username "UserName".
. 2011-09-13 09:37:26.767 Prompt (7, SSH password, , &Password: )
. 2011-09-13 09:37:26.767 Using stored password.
. 2011-09-13 09:37:26.767 Sent password
! 2011-09-13 09:37:26.814 Access denied

my command is:
open Somefolder/UserName@SomeIP -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 SomeKey"

Is the correct password actually being sent? Not really familiar with the ins and outs of connecting in this fashion.

Turn on logging to file and compare logs from GUI and script to find the difference. If you do not, please post both.

Hi All,
I am trying to download a files which is modified recently.
Do we have option to download it automatically.
We cannot run the file which contains a group of command.
Last time u told we can use /script but thats not working.

My goal is run a file SFTP which contains group of command which will only download the files which has modified recently

Thanks
Pavan
