How to install sshpass on Windows through Cygwin?

sshpass is not available as Cygwin package. This means that you need to build and install from source. To build sshpass on Windows (Cygwin):

$ curl -LO http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sshpass/sshpass-1.06.tar.gz
$ md5sum sshpass-1.06.tar.gz
f59695e3b9761fb51be7d795819421f9

Build and install to /usr/local/bin:

$ tar xvf sshpass-1.06.tar.gz
$ cd sshpass-1.06
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Which installs two files

  • the executable /usr/local/bin/sshpass
  • man page /usr/local/share/man/man1/sshpass.1

Your Cygwin install needs to have the required tools: curl to download, tar to extract, and autoconf, make and gcc to build. I'll assume reader familiarity with installing packages on Cygwin.
