sftp problem



hi,

i have a folder abc.
i have sftp executing from this folder successfully to other servers using keys which avoids passowrd prompt.

the permissions for the folder are only for user.ie drwx------

but i need another id to access my folder and execute the scripts.
so i changed the access permissions of abc to drwxrwx---. the other id belongs to the same group.

but now sftp fails..it prompts for password. if i change the permissions back to drwx , sftp works fine without passowrd prompt.


but i require the other id to access the scripts in my folder.

can anyone please provide suggestions to solve the issue.

rdist would be a better soultion to your problem.
i have done it recently & its really a very powerful tool.

regards,
