Shell script which copy the file from another server to my box using SFTP without prompting for a password

I want to write a shell script which copy the file from another server to my box using SFTP without prompting for a password as I have already made private keygen for password on server. Can you provide me the example script to do it.

You can use scp which works on ssh protocol and read private keys as well:

scp -r path/to/src/folder1 username@server:/path/to/dst/folder

The -r switch is to copy recursively

If you need to specify port, use -p

scp -r -P 2222 path/to/src/folder1 username@server:/path/to/dst/folder
