SSH without password nor keys

Question

Is there a way to automatize SSH connection (so the script could connect without prompting for password) if the server does not allow using keys?

Answer 1

if keys are not allowed on the server (which is .. strange) then you want the ssh-client to read the password from stdin .. which brings us to

Answer 2

You can do this with putty:

For unix, create a file, paste the below command in, chmod 755

putty -ssh ServerNameOrIP -l UserName -pw Password

for windows, you can use vbscript like so:

Dim ShellRun
Set ShellRun = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ShellRun.Run """C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe"" -ssh ServerNameOrIP -l UserName -pw Password", 1
