SCP & SSH
Submitted by Paul Williams on Fri, 2007-09-21 14:37.
Any help much appreciated. I'm trying to sort out a more seamless borrower import routine for our registry data to go into our main Talis system, and have been told that Registry will need SSH and SCP loaded onto our server for this to go ahead. They want to import the data directly onto our server automatically as opposed to the manual process which is the current method.
Has anyone used SCP/SSH and know where I need to go next?
ssh is commonly used to
ssh is commonly used to replace telent and ftp.
If you use solaris then I suggest a google for 'solaris ssh' certainly produced useful sites when I just tried. Including:

Once installed you can use 'keys' to avoid using passwords (and hence good for scripting and cron). This basically involves generating a 'key' (ascii text file) on one server, and putting it in a set place on the the other. Best bet is to google for ssh-keygen. I haven't needed to do this for years so it is all a bit rusty.
