How to use.shosts /.rhosts for SFTP?
If you are going to use .shosts/.rhosts or .netrc (there is nothing exists) for sftp, you are compromising atleast 50% of the security provided by openssh. Make sure shosts/rhosts authentication is enabled in sshd_config of the remote system. It’s very easy to setup public/private key authentication.
