ssh login

[Tomas Rendel]

sorry - hope this question is not tooo silly,

but i needed to "autologin" to a remote machine
found out that this works fine for me:

sftp -opassword=PASSWORD USER at 192.168.1.1 << EOF
cd ANYDIRECTORY
get ANYFILE
bye
EOF

why isn't this (sftp -opassword=SECRET USER at 192.168.1.1),
setting the password with -opassword=PASSWORD, documentated
anywhere?
bug or feature?

kind regards
tomas
