Well, I think I'm finally getting closer, now that I understand what the actual syntax should look like with real data in it. This is what I tried: $ scp /home/joe/mydata/track2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/joe/mydata/track2 That seemed to almost work ... except I got this reply: ssh: connect to

And the scp file transfer worked. It did ask for a password, though. Not a big problem, but is there any way to avoid that requirement for an extra manual step? Perhaps put the password in the initial syntax somehow? On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 3:15 PM, Josef Lowder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks,

There is a -B (batch mode) option that prevents asking for passwords. I'm not sure how that would work though. I expect that the target system's user account would need to have no password in that case, but I'm not sure of that. rsync really isn't much different syntax wise from scp, and it

The way to do scp transfers without a password is to set up SSH key authentication on both boxes. Here's a starting point. Google away for more info: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/articles/Jeremys_Magazine_Articles/Using_Keys_with_SSH Micah On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Eric Shubert

BTW, another easier way to do the static address thing is to assign addresses outside the DHCP range. There is not a hard and fast rule to know what the range is (unless you look at the router configuration) but if your addresses start with 192.168.0.2-3-4, it is safe to assign

scp is certainly easy to use. rsync is much more efficient in a scenario where you're trying to keep a backup copy in sync. After the first copy, which isn't much different from scp performance wise, rsync only copies files that have changed. With either program, ownerships and permissions can
