I could put it in /media, or in / for that matter, its a share that should be there, no questions asked as long as both machines are booted up.

That will change ownership. You > could use rsync -av -e ssh local_file userx@remotehost:~/some_subdir Yes, I have made that work, 5 or 6 times in the last month. But again, that man page's lack of a known good working example make you play the 10,000 monkeys writing the Barber of Seville scene. This time I hunt thru the shell history and find one that I know worked 2 weeks ago, adjust the path to the new files I want to move, enter my user password and get another 100 permission denials or no such file msgs for all the variations. > If you copy ssh public key to the other side you won't need to enter > password each time.
