How to enter ssh password using bash? [duplicate]

Question

Everyday I am connecting to a server through ssh. I go through this routine:

IC001:Desktop user$ ssh [email protected] [email protected]'s password:   Last login: Tue Jun  4 10:09:01 2013 from 0.0.0.0 $ 

I would like to automate this process and create a bash script to do it for me. I don't care about security and okay to store my password openly in the script. I am also okay for it to get typed openly on the screen while the script gets executed. So I've created this:

#!/bin/bash           ssh [email protected] echo mypassword 

But it doesn't work. I've also tried send instead of echo, but it also didn't work. Please advise if it is possible to do.

Double check if you are not able to use keys.

Otherwise use expect:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f spawn ssh [email protected] expect "assword:" send "mypassword\r" interact
