I’m writing a batch file that runs the below command
winscp sftp://username:password@host.com:22 /privatekey=pgp530.ppk
The output is as follows
Searching for host…
Connecting to host…
Authenticating…
Using username “username”.
Authenticating with public key “imported-openssh-key”.
Passphrase for key ‘imported-openssh-key’:
Is there any way to have the batch file enter the passphrase when prompted? Thanks!
Why not just create a private key without a password, or remove the password from the private key?
It’ll be roughly as secure as passing in a plain-text password to the key.
