You move from a human remembered on to what ever bit value you chose for a "passwordless setup." The password is still there is just moved from human interactiveness to machine handshakes of very, very, very large character sets. Remember rsync is capable of being tunnelled in ssh.
Remember security is more than just one strong key, make sure your ssh/sshd_config files are properly set up and provisioned for who is allowed to log in -- Root by default is NOT, that's a given., and you can do the same thing for users and groups. If you want to get even more fine grained after that you can use PAM, but you can lock yourself out too very fast is PAM gets cranky. rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/zip/ [email protected]:www/zip/ change to, or another idea... rsync -avzcWP -e ssh --bwlimit=232KBS --exclude=/home/joe/.* /home/joe/ [email protected]:www/zip/ I am assuming your host kind of operates like rsync.net... which IMHO is a great backup service.... ya ya shameless plug... i don't work for them. Otherwise don't forget the extra: / rsync -avzcWP -e ssh --bwlimit=232KBS --exclude=/home/joe/familypics /home/joe/ [email protected]://www/zip/ vp Remember it's not that we have something to hide, we just have nothing we want to show. ---Keep tunnelling. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
