  • FTP and SFTP are two completely different protocols. If you use `ftp` like this, your connection won't be encrypted (if the server support FTP at all). – Martin Prikryl Nov 25 '20 at 07:34

  • OK, I didn't post the best link above. See this one: [Automatically enter SSH password with script](https://stackoverflow.com/q/12202587/850848). – Martin Prikryl Nov 25 '20 at 20:27
