The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

how do i automate file down load using sftp

Asked by nohurt in Automation, Linux, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Shell Scripting, Miscellaneous Networking

I have a linux server and i need to download a file from our partner every two hours using sftp. I can manually do this, but since it's repetitious, i would like to automate it in a bash shell script. the problem i have is automatically logging in so that i don't have to enter a password on the command line. is there a way to pass in the password so that i don't need to type it in? i can even put in into the shell script encrypted so that it's not in the clear. I already have a tool that will encrypt / decrypt the password. I also cannot use ssh public/private keys since the partner does not want to get into the process of managing our public ssh keys.
