Re: [tlug] Rsync password usage

[Mauro Sauco <sauco@example.com>]

First I would recommend that you use ssh as your remote shell then
simply create a pair of keys without passphrase.

After having used rsync for a couple years to do backups among my
local machines, today for the first time (believe it or not), I tried
to get it working to my web site.

I succeeded with this:

    rsync --delete -ruvptl
    /mnt/win_d/docs/www.acmuller.net/public_html/test
    acmuller@example.com:public_html


Now I want to use cron, and so I'll need to have the password entered
automatically. The rsync man page has this option:

    --password-file=FILE    get password from FILE

So I made the file /home/chuck/.pairpass and then tried

     rsync --delete --password-file=/home/chuck/.pairpass -ruvptl
     /mnt/win_d/docs/www.acmuller.net/public_html/test
     acmuller@example.com:public_html

But I am still getting the password challenge.

Is my error apparent?

Thanks,

Chuck
