So you want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to rsync machine_1:/some/path to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in a path machine_2:/some/other/path ? This should be
done via ssh, right? Easy, that.
- On machine_2, create ~/.ssh as a directory (if it doesn't already exist)
- On machine_1, do:
$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ ssh-keygen -f rsync-key -t rsa -C "key for rsync"
(-> NO password)
$ cat rsync-key.pub | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "chmod 0640 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
(This created a ssh key and allows user_1 to log in as user_2 on
machine_2 without password)
Now, ssh'ing into machine_2 with user_2 should work, try it:
machine_1 $> ssh -i ~/.ssh/rsync-key [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That should work, now the rsync part:
machine_1 $> rsync --rsh="ssh -i /home/user_1/.ssh/rsync-key" -avz
/path/to/your/files/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/backup
That should work, too, so you can place that command into user_1's
crontab file. rsync's options (I choose -avz here) depend on what you
actually want to achieve, you didn't tell that exactly enough so I took
something that basically does a backup (-a), is a bit verbose (-v) and
compresses data over the link (-z). Especially -z is only wise if you've
got a slow link in between and fast CPUs. Omit it if you're in LAN with
not-that-fast CPUs.
