test the ssh link manually first. Check the permissions on the remote server for .ssh and contents. They must *not* be world readable. I'm assuming Linux here as you did not say which OS. Once you can connect to the remote server using ssh without a password then try rsync. rsync -av *.p [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/my/path/to/backup Once that is working you might want to consider the excellent backup tool from rsnapshot.org -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com ----------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
