Hey All,

Under the system admin role, my task is to create the bash script to zip the folder and copy into remote server. It should be pass wordless. so i have followed the below steps.

1.) I create passwordless ssh to remote by generating the key which is successful as well when connecting using ssh
2.) I wrote the simple bash to achieve it as below

#!/bin/bash

Create zip archive

zip -r /backup/xfusioncorp_media.zip /var/www/html/media

Transfer zip archive

scp /backup/xfusioncorp_media.zip clint@stbkp01:/backup/

When i check , the zip file is present in the remote server

However my verification fails

That`s because when you generate the reygen-key, I believe you are doing it as a root user.
Try being the normal user

Yes, I did the mistake of doing in root, normal user does the job, thanks buddy!
