Dear All,
though my query is not directly with rsync but i thought some of the
people must be using rsync & ssh, so i am posting my query here, in case
if there is some other group or forum pls let me know so that i won't
bother people here(my apologies)
actually, i am facing a very strange issue as :
my objective is to use rsync from windows m/c with ssh(auto), so i did
as ...
1) I installed rsync_full.zip, from
http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html
2) It contains following files(c:\rsync) :- cygwin1.dll, gnudate.exe,
rsetup.bat, rsync2.5.1-dev.exe, rsync246.exe, rsync251-2.exe,
drivec.bat, sshd.exe, ssh-keygen.exe, scp.exe, ssh.exe, ssh-add.exe,
ssh-agent.exe
3) Win boxes are win98 & win2000, while linux box is RH9, bimal is a
user on linux box.
4) I am very much able to do rsync and ssh from window boxes to linux
box (manually), it asks me a password
5) here is what i did(followed above mentioned doc) :-
*) unzipped rsync_full.zip in c:\>, so it get installed as
c:\rsync>(all commands are here)
*) put all the environment variables in autoexec.bat and ran rsetup on
command prompt
*) i used ssh-keygen -P "" to generate the key on win m/c
*) copied identity.pub file on linux box in /home/bimal/.ssh/
*) then i did cat identity.pub >> authorized_keys
this all i did to get auto ssh done, now when i do
c:\> ssh -l bimal 10.10.2.50 whoami
i have also done auto ssh on linux-linux box but am facing this issue
with windows-linux box only!!
it asks me a password, what shall i check now??, any pointer will be of
great help.
regards,
Bimal Pandit
