sshpass: command not found error
linux, shell, ssh, sshpass, unix
Solution
you will need to install sshpass on the client server you are running your code in which is a tool that is not installed by default on most Linux distro
if you are in Ubuntu use this command
apt-get install sshpass
on centOS/redhat use this install epel
wget https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
install sshpass
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install sshpass
Thanks
Problem
I am trying to automate the file transfer or FTP from one server to the other. ``` #!/bin/bash ### In this model, the same filename is processed on each run. ### A timestamp is added to the result file and data file is copied to the archive or error folder with a timestamp after processing. # Set current directory cd `dirname "$0"` # Set the environment variables . ./Environment.sh $0 ####################################################################################################### # ####################################################################################################### FILE=/hcm/Inbound/file.csv sshpass -p 'xyz' sftp -oBatchMode=no -b - -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no zys@192.abc.taleo.net <<_EOF_ cd /upload/ put $FILE _EOF_ # Exit exit $? ``` When I am executing this shell script I am getting the following error in putty : ``` -bash: sshpass: command not found ``` I tried using the ssh passwordless method by `ssh-keygen -t dsa` and other steps but I cannot access putty of the second server due to which I am not being able to execute the next steps. Kindly help
