Hello,
 
I am writing a bash script that will scp files from one host to another host.  I have scp setup to ask for password.  Here is a sample script with a different password and host.  When I run the scripted I receive error messages invalid passwd.  I am new at writing these types of scripts, any help will be greatly appriated.
 
#!/bin/bash
 
SERVER="ns2.test.net"
PASSWORD="test"
BACKUP_PATH="/var/backups/"
FILENAME="backup_ns1_$(date +%a).tgz"
/usr/bin/scp $BACKUP_PATH$FILENAME $SERVER:/var/backups > /dev/null 2&1
$PASSWORD
