Re: Setting up rsync

John -

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for...now to write it down.

I had my thinking process challenged :-) when I got an error message upon trying to copy the key from the sender to the recipient: there is a new server at the address so it's key is no longer valid. A little editing in authorized_keys was needed.

This is the problem of visiting my server every year or so (and why I like Linux - it just runs once setup!)....

Thank you again....

Todd

About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the command line:

/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/

Is there anyone who can translate what I am trying to do?

Todd


its using a ssh server, you just need to setup SSH public keys.

look up ssh-keygen. for example (random howto found by google), http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/ssh/ ... note, that you need to use a blank 'passphrase' if you want automatic rsync sessions to run w/o user intervention.
