I have a script that runs ssh several times to do some manipulations on a remote system and also runs rsync to the same remote system two or three times.
Is there some way to get a single entry of the ssh password to work for all the ssh and rsync calls?
I *could* use key authentication but that has some downsides so I'd prefer to remain with using a password.
What do you see as downsides? In my view ssh authentication should always be key based.
I agree 100%
