Hi,

i've got a need to transfer a file from BOX-A to BOX-B without manual
interference.

I've got allot of solutions for this, but none seem to be totally secure,
the best thing i've come up with so far (except for writing/compiling a c
script) is scp with a passphrase-less key, and perhaps put a scp-schell on
BOX-B so that that the account used to transfer the file can only be used to
scp.

I've also been looking into a perl script with socket connect, but that
seems to be one of least secure options ..

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be more secure than my scp
option.

rgds,
 -Dimitri A.
