Hi, What is the recommanded practice to synchronize a remote host using rsync, which is only accessible through an SSH connection which -does not- allow root login ? For security reasons, the remote host only allows non-privileged user to log on. Therefore, the directories/files which are not accessible from the loggged account cannot be read/synchronized. Is it possible to use a rsync server or any other work around to accomplish the synchronization within such a environment ? I did not find the answer to this question in the FAQs. Perhaps I've missed it... Please let me know if this question has already been answered and where I could find it. I'm a newbie with rsync. Thanks, Manu.
