Why does sftp in batchmode not prompt for a password in RHEL5 or later version?
Issue
- If run the following commands, it shows Permission Denied error:
$ sftp -b ftpput.cmd <user@site>
$ cat ftpput.cmd
lls -l <filename>
ls -l
put <sourcefile> <targetfile>
ls -l
bye
- I want to get password in batch mode as it did work in RHEL4 rather than showing below error
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
