  • Why do you not want to use ssh, scp etc? Might be difficult to access remote systems otherwise on shell level. Commented Jul 6, 2014 at 8:29
  • yes i understand. What i have come accross that there are commercial products like SAM tools, which gather data from remote mac systems without authentication prompts..Hence i want to do it with scripting. SSH.SCP would require authentication everytime i connect to a remote machine. Commented Jul 9, 2014 at 6:05
  • There is some kind of authentication/autorization required irregardless of the tools used (even for Applescript). ssh and friends won't require additional authentication once you've set up public/private key pairs for all connections required. Commented Jul 9, 2014 at 6:09
