If you're setting up ssh key pairs, you won't need to use "expect"
because no password is needed.
I started following this article:
http://www.sakana.fr/blog/2008/05/07/securing-automated-rsync-over-ssh/
but got stuck at "We can use the ssh-copy-id utility for this purpose"
since I have no such utility. I was going to manually add the key pair
to "~/.ssh/authorized_keys " on the remote host, but I'm not sure what
"~" signifies on a Linux box. (on OS X it's the user directory)
But Sarah's solution seems to work great.
One caveat, with rsync, I have not figured out how to provide a
progress slider!

I've done this several times on linux / OSX - I'd have to look it up
in the
man pages as once you've done it one you just use it. I've not used
"expect"
before... I'll take a look at the way you've used it....

Sarah - thanks for this work! Just one thing... for general use it
would
be
really great to use these techniques to interactively generate the
ssh
key
pairs from within Rev and then ftp or scp them to the server. This
convenience option would make it easy for users to set up secure
connections, and the truely paranoid could always do the ssh key
pair
generation themselves on the command line.
I think this would get a lot more acceptance due to security fears
- also
it
has general application to a whole bunch of shell commands that
can use
ssh
key pairs for authentication - svn for one.
If you can send me the Terminal commands needed to do this, I would
be
happy to incorporate them into a stack and then make rync work that
way.
Cheers,
Sarah
