Securely Move Files between Ubuntu Servers

[hattriq27]

I will draw out the architecture first, very simple:


SERVER1----SSH Tunnel-----SERVER2

I want to create a batch job to move a file from server1 to server2 using a secure method. The prior way was to SCP the file but that required putting a user name and password in the script. I thought about using stunnel and self signed certificates but I wanted to hear other opinions.

Thoughts?

Thx for your time ;)

scp or rsync with public key authentication.

thanks, yeah I have been reading about the options in the sshd config. Looks like disabling password auth and using keys is the way to go
