I'm not much of a DOS expert and need a hand. I am running a dos command called pscp that connects to a remote server to transfer files. This command requires a password to be entered after the command and its parameters has been entered. I am trying to write a DOS batch file that will automate this because I have to run it several times. What do I need to do in the batch to get the password to be sent to the prompt and entered when the prompt requests it. I want it to be done without having to hit anymore keys after the batch is running.
Have ya tried this first? (from PuTTY User Manual. Note red highlighted command-line option.)
