Hi Folks, At the moment, I am at the stage where I can only do the back manual. I have run the first steps of configure and then make. Now when I run this command, I can be able to have files transfered to a remote server rsync -t (filename) (remote-location) forinstance rsync -t *.p dev:testing and doing this, I am still asked for the password for the remote server. I have tried copying the key generated to the ssh directory of the remote server but still doing the same thing. I would like to seek help on how to automate it and probably having the key issue work automatic. I will be grateful with your help. -- Ndaula Ahmed WEC Volunteer iEARN-US 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 450 New York, NY 10115 Fax: 212-870-2672 Off: +1-212-870-2693 Ext. 2691 Home: +1-212-316-8510 Mob: +1-646-3010-275 Email: andaula@yahoo.co.uk / andaula@ugabytes.org Blogg: http://www.ahmed.wecblogs.org ----------- No virus found in this outgoing message.

They must *not* be world readable. I'm assuming Linux here as you did not say which OS. Once you can connect to the remote server using ssh without a password then try rsync. rsync -av *.p me@dev.com:/my/path/to/backup Once that is working you might want to consider the excellent backup tool from rsnapshot.org -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
