sshpass
An SSH password provider.
It works by creating a TTY, feeding the password into it, and then redirecting stdin to the SSH session.
More information: https://manned.org/sshpass.
- Connect to a remote server using a password supplied on a file descriptor (in this case,
stdin):
sshpass -d 0 ssh user@hostname
- Connect to a remote server with the password supplied as an option, and automatically accept unknown SSH keys:
sshpass -p password ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@hostname
- Connect to a remote server using the first line of a file as the password, automatically accept unknown SSH keys, and launch a command:
sshpass -f path/to/file ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@hostname "command"
