mappi cant stop:(07:16
diploMorning all07:19
diploI smoke mapp07:19
bujjimorning07:19
diploHaven't read up though, git a e-cig and cut down maybe if you can't just quit07:20
bujjilike sshpass -p ----- how cn i do it for sftp07:21
diddledancare to elaborate your question, bujji ?07:25
mappmorning diplo07:25
diddledanallo diplo07:25
bujjididdleadan:how can i pass password without automating password for ftp07:27
diddledanbujji: you said sftp - that's not ftp. for sftp you should use an ssh-key07:28
bujjididdledan:okey sftp07:28
diplohttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--207:29
diplobujji:07:29
diploThen you can just do scp file user@domain.tld:/path07:30
bujjidiplo:so how can i use that ssh key in sftp07:30
diploRead the documentation, it'll explain07:30
diploBut basically, you create a key locally, you copy your public key to server and then you connect07:31
diploIn very simple terms07:31
diplo:)07:31
bujjidiplo :without automation07:31
diploNo option afaik to pass a password to ssh over cli afaaik with a switch as it's not seure07:32
diploCould use a script to do it, but SSH keys are what you want07:32
bujjisshpass -p <password> user@host ---this can connect?07:33
diddledanerr07:34
diddledanthere's no programme called sshpass07:34
diplossThere is :)07:34
diploJHust looked myself07:34
bujjididdledan:what arr?07:34
diploNAME sshpass - noninteractive ssh password provider07:35
diddledanso there is07:35
diddledanit's not default tho07:35
diploI've never installed it, but it's on my system07:35
mappahhh damnit07:35
mappgotta get a flight for december07:35
mappse my sister and dad and that around Purley Way07:36
diploNever used it bujji, not sure why you want to use it as it's not overly secure ?07:36
diploYou'll need to read it from a file or something, I'd still say ssh keys and nothing else07:36
diddledandiplo: not installed here07:36
mappcroydon again;( 3x in 5 years07:37
mapp3x too much07:37
diddledanfrom sshpass package description: "SECURITY NOTE: There is a reason openssh insists that passwords be typed interactively. Passwords are harder to store securely and to pass around securely between programs. If you have not looked into solving your needs using SSH's "public key authentication", perhaps in conjunction with the ssh agent (RTFM ssh-add), please do so before being tempted into using this package."07:37
bujjidiplo:yes,if it stored in file which option should i use for sftp07:37
bujjididdledan:yup07:39
bujjibut how can i use that one in sftp07:39
diddledanbujji: it'll just work07:39
bujjinot sharing public key07:39
diddledanpublic keys are meant to be shared07:39
diddledanthat's why they're called "public"07:40
bujjididdledan:i dont want to share the public key how can i give password using options for sftp07:41
diddledanwhy don't you want to share a public key?07:41
diploBasically it's telling you not to use it in the program itself07:42
bujjididdledan:other way))07:42
diplobujji: Either use that program which i'd say not to or write a shell script to do it for you if you don't want to interact07:44
diplohttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/5386482/how-to-run-the-sftp-command-with-a-password-from-bash-script07:44
diddledanit's still "the wrong way" to do it07:45
diploFirst answer07:45
diploIt sure is :)07:45
bujjidiplo:i will try))07:47
diploI still don't recommend it though bujji ssh-keys is what you want, I don't know why you don't want to use it07:49

zmoylan-piif there's a secret key it's only a matter of time before someone else finds it and uses it19:46
davmor2MartijnVdS: he has heard that bad people use encryption from an adviser and thought we'll have to put an end to that.  The thing is if every encryption algorithm has to have a backdoor it will be exploited by the hackers out there just look at the us government19:47
zmoylan-pithey tried it will clipper chip in 90s19:47

daftykinsi'm a little undecided about jumping on the final release bandwagon too quick, i'll want access to a 7 machine if i need to guide someone through something20:17
diddledanyeah. might be worth getting a vmware or vbox setup running with an activated win7 that you can snapshot and rollback to be able to be able to upgrade many times20:18
daftykinsi definitely don't believe in upgrades so i'm hoping to get a nice ISO, murder the 8.1 flash drive i have then do the 'keep nothing' installs :)20:26
