I'm not familiar with Sun's specific versions of SSH/SFTP...are these
different than OpenSSH? Regardless, I would be surprised if what you
had didn't support SSH keys, which are a better way to go then passwords
anyways.
There are lots of howto's out there, heres one:

This is in fact a password-less login, more secure than a password
login, and I use it everyday to login to most of my machines :) Some
people even keep their ssh keys on a USB key and mount it when they need
to login.
Also...perhaps what you truly want is to use SCP in conjunction with keys?

Hello
I hope someone can help me with the following problem.
Background: We are using SUN hosts running Solaris9. For more than 15
years we have had our users launch a Cshell script to create a tar
file. It also does ftp data transfer in the background for archiving
on remote Macintosh computers. The users just type the name of the
script on the command line and then he/she enters a file name. The
process uses .netrc which contains the remote password. Permissions are
set so that the users cannot read the contents of .netrc.
So, the user does not know the password on the archiving host. Of
course ftp has huge security problems. So, I am trying to create a
similar process using sftp. I have tried to do this using SUN's
Solaris9 ssh-keygen, ssh-agent, ssh-add, etc. I have tried
"passwordless" sftp setups I have found on websites. This description
is improper. They don't require your normal password, but they do
require a new "passphrase" (ie a new password).
My question: Help?! Can you tell me how to get Solaris9's version of
sftp/ssh to work in such a fashion as I described above. That is, sftp
launched with a Cshell script and have the password/passphrase entered
in the background perhaps by another shell script, which is called by
the first one.
Regards.
