Let's think about this. Shouldn't it be secret? :) In the ideal situation, you have a public key on the target, a private key on the source, and you load the private key up securely into memory using an ssh-agent program. Since you're using Windows as your source (right?), take a look at the suite of software that includes PuTTY and Pageant.

I haven't had to do the exact combination of things you are trying: rsync over ssh from Windows to Linux, so I'll offer what help I can, but you'll need to tell us what you're using for software and what you're doing and what you're seeing. It's hard to see you're screen from here ;) I've found little obvious about ssh. I had to read the whole Snail book (O'Reilly) to start to get it. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ 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/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
