i do it with ssh. especially with rsync its pretty much a requirement. with potato's SSH you can use RSA authentication using either passphraseless RSA keys or keys that have pass phrases but use ssh-agent to pass along the passphrase to the key when you boot the machine. if your interested, look for docs on how to setup RSA authentcation with SSH. there should be plenty of info available. nate
