    Well, it has been asked quite a few times... Thing is, you can't - not in a "normal" way.
    Maybe you can write something in C++ or whatever programming language you master.

    Wat you normally do when you need to login without any user action is use ssh keys. I found one instruction here: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
    (I haven't validated it but it looks correct.)

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response.


    I have seen the provided link.

    I just need to provide the password for the ssh remote log in only from the shell script but I don't want to configure the ssh without password.

    Please help me in this regards


    Thanks

    You can use the expect tool.

    Some examples are shown at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...to-ssh-command
