I tried to send file from raspberry pi to openwrt by using shellscript written like
sudo sshpass -p raspberry scp /home/pi/a.txt root@192.168.1.1:root/recv/aa.txt
PS I create new directory in openwrt called recv
As a result, no file was transfer to openwrt. What should I fix it. Thank you.
First test the plain scp command, so that you have got that part right.
To me it looks strange that your target path does not start with / to be an absolute path, but starts with "root/recv/". Is that correct?
To which exact directory you are trying to copy into?
I tried scp command only... It worked. For directory: As you said it is /root.recv/aa.txt. I wrote it wrong on the forum. But in my script it is the correct path. It still not working.
Can you share your script and the error that shows its not working
my script is
#!/bin/sh
sudo sshpass -p raspberry scp /home/pi/a.txt root@192.168.1.1:/root/recv
it has no output and no error
So I tried using another script.
#!/bin/sh
sudo scp pi@raspberrypi:/home/pi/a.txt root@192.168.1.1:/root/recv/
At first, this script worked, but now it output like permission denied, please try again.
connection closed by 192.168.2.1 port 22
lost connection
PS I also did chmod +x myscript.sh
when you run this scp command on the shell does it prompt to enter password ?
Why not use a ssh key instead of sshpass?
Yes, it does.
I just want to make shellscript to transfer file. Actually, just a little project... not focus much about security.
Your script does not have the provision to enter password, adjust that it should work.
Is "raspberry" the password of the OpenWrt device?
What happens if you change it to this:
sudo scp /home/pi/a.txt root@192.168.1.1:/root/recv/
Thank you so much. I input wrong password... I input rpi password. And when type it correctly it should be
sudo sshpass -p 'openwrt_password' scp /home/pi/a.txt root@192.168.1.1:/root/recv
