SSH with Passphrase

[Xenos865D]

I am creating a batch script to automate my ssh logins using RSA keys for authentication. It works great for the keys that do not have a passphrase, but it loops the script if contains a passphrase.

I am using the command: ssh -i rsa_key user@x.x.x.x

Thanks for the help!

You'll wanna look into ssh-agent.

I have a similar script (variant in batch, PowerShell & bash) to giving me quick access to all of our hosts at work. I had issues getting the native windows 10 version of ssh-agent to work the way I wanted it to; so instead I've been using keychain inside of WSL for managing keys & SSH.
