Thanks ET. While I plan to try to set up the key based authentication that Bryan explained, this sshfs looks like a good alternative. However, I don't quite understand the sshfs example, especially the "/path/I/care" part and all the rest that should follow on the sshfs line. How would I do that in the example that I originally provided? # update.blue sshfs (what goes here?):/(what goes here?)/ (what goes here?) rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/upquick/ [email protected]:www/upquick/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/zip/ [email protected]:www/zip/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/ [email protected]:www/av7/ --------------------------------------------------- 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
