I know and I did that, however it did not work. The files must be in the correct place because it stopped asking for the user name. There is something secret about passing the password in the ssh shell. What I need is one of those programs like you can get to automatically enter the password when you log outlook into an exchange server. I am sure it is something obvious, but I have not found it yet.

This means we cannot automate the updating. You need to set up public/private keys on the machines. If they are present, rsync will use them to authenticate and will not need a password. Google for "ssh-keygen" and I'm sure you'll find tons of information about how to do this. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/066d01cb0b51$8f4dacc0$7a00a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
