If you have both PuTTY and CygWin's ssh available, I would use the CygWin, since you'll be running in a consistent POSIX environment for both the ssh and rsync. Start a CygWin command shell and try to ssh from the Windows server to the webfaction box: ssh -vvv usern...@http://webxxx.webfaction.com/ If that lets you in without asking for a password, then you can use the --rsh='ssh' commandline option I suggested before. If not, you may need to add the proper private key (with the proper permissions) to your .ssh directory on the Windows machine. The -vvv makes verbose output that should suggest what you need to troubleshoot. When you have ssh working correctly, you can add an entry (or create the file) .ssh/config to give yourself a simple shortcut for the command line, with an entry something like: Host MyWebFactionHost Hostname http://webxxx.webfaction.com/ User webfactionlogin Port 22 IdentityFile /home/kam/.ssh/id_rsa and then the rsync command is simplified to rsync -avz --rsy='ssh' mylocalhost:localfilespec MyWebFactionHost: Rsync will automatically invoke ssh which in turn will recognize the configuration options for that host. -- 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.
