Hi
Thanks for your previous answers. Now I'm fighting with setting up ssh tunnelling with rsync
Hi
Just wanted to share this with other "rsync through tunnelling" newbies.
This script will copy files from "remotehostname" to "localhostname" with permissions/ownership etc. preserved AND with encrypted transfer.
This is the script I've made:
---cut---
#!/bin/bash
# Sets up tunnelling, dsa key needed for ssh autologin (needs to be explicit given to the command).:
ssh -i /home/rsync/.ssh/id_dsa -f -C -L 2211:remotehostname:873 [EMAIL PROTECTED] sleep 1000
# ENV var RSYNC_PASSWORD gets destroyed when this script is finish executing. Needed for rsync autologin.:
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=somepassword rsync -auz --delete rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2211/www /var/www
# only list files, test purposes only... # rsync rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2211/www
---cut---
The script is dependent on a rsync server running on "remotehostname".
I have the rsync server running through daemon tools (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) with restricted access using tcprules.
The script also needs to be executed on "localhostname" in order to work as meant to...
