Greetings !
how to disable ssh password for rysnc without
generating ssh keys,
- then i tried using "--password-file" option but it
is not
picking password from "password" file
- "password" file is present on the backup server
- i don't know how to RYSNC_PASSWORD, whether it
supports
ssh password or not.
SCRIPT
======set $(date)
rsync -e ssh -avz --delete
--passwrod-file=/root/password
root@192.192.192.180:/home/sal/ /home/backuplt/sal/
2>&1 >
/var/log/backuplt_log/sal_backup_$6-$4-$3-$2.log
So, why it is not picking password from password file
and any other idea to pass ssh password to rsync
without prompting it.
Is there any syntax error in my script.
Any help appreciated.

Rsync has no options that affect ssh's password prompting. You should get ssh working as needed without rsync being involved (perhaps running a simple command such as "uptime") and then use that technique with rsync. However, if you've ruled out ssh keys, your only other choice may be some kind of host-based authentication. See the ssh docs for details. ..wayne..
