How to SFTP without prompting password?
7,171
Generally it's the best practice to have a password for SFTP users.
But still if you have to enable the password less authentication please follow the below steps:
I have followed as:
SSH Client : 192.168.0.12 ( RHEL )
SSH Remote Host : 192.168.0.11 ( AML )
Step 1: Create Authentication SSH-Keygen Keys on – (192.168.0.12)
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Step 2: Create .ssh Directory on – 192.168.0.11
ssh [email protected] mkdir -p .ssh
Step 3: Upload Generated Public Keys to – 192.168.0.11
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh [email protected] 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
Step 4: Set Permissions on – 192.168.0.11
ssh [email protected] "chmod 700 .ssh; chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys"
Step 5: Login from 192.168.0.12 to 192.168.0.11 Server without Password
ssh [email protected]
Hope this helps.

I am using ubuntu (release 4.15.0-72-generic).
I have written multiple shell scripts to connect to a destination Linux server using sftp. But sftp is prompting me for a password.
Is there any way to stop the prompt without using sshpass/rsa key configuration?
