Create a non-root user (wwwadmin) on the target machine. Make its home directory /var/www. Do not set a password. 3. Give ownership of /var/www to wwwadmin:apache. 4. copy your id_rsa.pub to target:/var/www/.ssh/authorized_keys (or authorized_keys2 on older version of openssh). Make sure .ssh has permissions of 700 5. use scp, sftp, or rsync to transfer files: scp <local files> wwwadmin@target:~/path/relative/to/var/www sftp wwwadmin@target rsync --rsh=ssh <local files> wwwadmin@target:/var/www/path/to/files > Thanks in advance Cash in advance is nice too :-) > Philippe -- Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------ Right wing socialists hate privacy as much as left wing socialists hate guns. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
