Hi,
There's a help page on http://www.freebsddiary.org/secure-file-copy.php . I hope it helps you. The way to do it seems to be using ssh public-private keys, but I've tried this a few times and can't get it to work. I suspect that when my ssh was compiled, an option was left out. Anyway, good luck, Pete Lindsay ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Dahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 7:50 PM Subject: ssh->rsync->newbie > warning: rsync/sysadmin newbie question... > > I want to sync the web directory from my production server to my > backup server (through ssh). rsync is working fine, except that it > doesn't seem to authenticate my rsync user which is not a system > user.
