I use rdiff-backup under one user "backup". I use ssh keys and in front of the key i put rdiff-backup --server --restrict ..etc That ensures that if you log-in with specific key you are restricted to rdiff-backup and one particular directory..sample below. To answer your question..you can login without password by using ssh key.
command="cd /mnt/raid/Backup/ && rdiff-backup --server --restrict John/",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EDIESBJQAAAIEAnrv+7bf0oiQWvArwhAmA41Z7eHULKF6LzynxQxHFAiwXsFV8B7S4thZaf4IRiXIM/YLssC8KKgyU/4eBazXD2/n+YJl97jk/1jYkiTncCpMxNCqCwimhuFOYd8fY5v/pFkTFg2C2hE+JvP0UJSA3iW5PTKTDGF4c6hZ/tmRNcs= john 2009/5/7 Chencho <chencho...@gmail.com>: > > The server is actually my hosting server; i have access to shell as root. > > The users accounts will be made by me directly into the server by ssh or > plesk. > > Normally, i have this: > > I have a domain called remotlybackups.com (not true). > > When a user paid, i made a subdomain, for example: > > user1.remotlybackups.com > > Then i made the user "user1" with password "pw1", and he/she have access to > /var/www/vhosts/remotlybackups.com/subdomains/user1 > > Now i copy the files into httpsdocs/backup from each user. > > Actually is not 100% true, because i put the server in his/her office and > configure ssh and crontab to make it without user activity. > > I'm not sure to install samba into my hosting server, but sounds an > alternative. > > BTW, if i set the user shell to rdiff-backup --server... i'm not sure how > can i logging to it "without" password prompt form Windows app. > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Rdiff-backup-over-FTP-tp23408137p23424737.html > Sent from the rdiff-backup-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > _______________________________________________ > rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users > Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki > _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
