[bash] How to put sshpass command inside a bash script?

I am trying to run a sshpass command inside a bash script but it isn't working.

If I run the same command from the terminal it works fine but running it in a bash script it doesn't.

#! /bin/bash

sshpass -p 'password' ssh user@host command

I am aware of the security issues but its not important now.

Can someone help? Am I missing something.

Thanks

Try the "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" option to ssh("-o" being the flag that tells ssh that your are going to use an option). This accepts any incoming RSA key from your ssh connection, even if the key is not in the "known host" list.

sshpass -p 'password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@host 'command'

I didn't understand how the accepted answer answers the actual question of how to run any commands on the server after sshpass is given from within the bash script file. For that reason, I'm providing an answer.

After your provided script commands, execute additional commands like below:

sshpass -p 'password' ssh user@host "ls; whois google.com;" #or whichever commands you would like to use, for multiple commands provide a semicolon ; after the command

In your script:

#! /bin/bash

sshpass -p 'password' ssh user@host "ls; whois google.com;"

1 - You can script sshpass's ssh command like this:

#!/bin/bash

export SSHPASS=password
sshpass -e ssh -oBatchMode=no user@host

2 - You can script sshpass's sftp commandlike this:

#!/bin/bash

export SSHPASS=password

sshpass -e sftp -oBatchMode=no -b - user@host << !
   put someFile
   get anotherFile
   bye
!

This worked for me:

#!/bin/bash

#Variables
FILELOCAL=/var/www/folder/$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H-%M-%S').csv    
SFTPHOSTNAME="myHost.com"
SFTPUSERNAME="myUser"
SFTPPASSWORD="myPass"
FOLDER="myFolderIfNeeded"
FILEREMOTE="fileNameRemote"

#SFTP CONNECTION
sshpass -p $SFTPPASSWORD sftp $SFTPUSERNAME@$SFTPHOSTNAME << !
    cd $FOLDER
    get $FILEREMOTE $FILELOCAL
    ls
   bye
!

Probably you have to install sshpass:

sudo apt-get install sshpass
