I am fully aware that this question has been asked many times but I cant able to find any solution which satisy my requirement.

Task -> I need to transfer files from machine A to machineB and remotely execute scripts on Machine B. Due to my limitation I cant able to use keygen, expect utility or any other utility which requires to install packages. To Transfer the file I need to give password and I want to give password in Url. as this will run inside bash script and requires no user interference .

My investigation– I thought of using scp but realise, its not possible to give password at command prompt. So i wondering , if there is any other alternative from rsync .

below is the small attempt

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
USER="bob"
RSYNC_PASSWORD="blue"
MACHINE_B="192.168.200.2"
if ping -c 1 -W 1 $MACHINE_B
then
 echo "There is machine b as well"
 echo " cheking to transfer file to machine b"
    rsync lol.sh  192.168.200.2:/home/bob/
fi

Thanks and regards,
Sam

    I have tried various option mentioned above ,, but unfortunately none of them works in my case. But I would like to thanks everyone for helping me and surely I have learned few new things specially rsync.
    In my case, I have to rely on ssh keys to make it work.
