Ahhhh! Please someone here talk in english. I am unable to understand
anything. wahhh!!!!
I just want to copy users directories thru;' cronjob from one machoine
to another and bad as it may sound I am not worried about security.
What do you want me to do in such cases. Please understand that this is
first time I am on a live IP in my life. Till now I was using just few
computers on LAN and so do nto understand much of rsync and ssh jargon.
I use ssh just to connect to my remote machine, that's all.
With warm regards,
