Hi, I wrote a tutorial which describes how to easily fetch your data on your notebook to take your work with you. It uses rsync over ssh with the use of a little script that I have written. I'm sorry, but this tutorial is only available in German. It would be nice if you will take a look at this, for I'm not sure, if it's OK. If someone is a guru in rsync, then look at this, too, I don't want to teach other people wrong things. I know, there will be some mistakes and the script is not the best one, but it runs perfectly here. It is a >>Pre-Release<< for you. You can get a package of the tutorial in the OpenOffice format within the two scripts (synclan and synclocal) at following adress: http://linux.waluga.de/tutorials/rsync-synchronize-data-de.tar.gz In a short time a PDF-version will be online here: http://linux.waluga.de/ => Tutorials Drop me a note for comments on this... Thanks a lot! PS: Please note, that chapter 4 and some lines aren't finished, yet. -- Regards, Gregor www.waluga.de ==============================Linux ist kostenmlos, Windoofs umsonst... http://linux.waluga.de
