I am using SCP file transfer centos

I have this Script running in cronjob as following:

scp /opt/pcube/sm/server/bin/subscribers.csv test@192.168.1.1:/var/tmp

When I press enter will ask for password: test@192.168.1.1’s password: XXXX

After I put the password:

Subscribers.csv 100% 155KB 155.4KB/s 00:00 the transfer is done without problem

My questions: I want to run the script on hourly bases without asking me for the password (I want to save the password and the script will run without asking me ) is it possible

Thanks. My hosting provider (https://rosehosting.com) encouraged me to use WinSCP for uploading files on my server. They told me that scp is much secure than ftp. Your guide is very useful and I will add it to my bookmarks so I can use it when I need to upload something using the command line.

In reply to Jerry Rocteur. Read the man page? Once you have scp down then rsync is just more of the same with different switches.

In reply to Ant. I don't know to resume with scp too. When I need to transfer a large amount of files I use rsync over ssh. With rsync, if transfer or link suffer interrupt, you can restart rsync to continue.
