Since rsync 3.0 i've detected a problem with rssh and -e option....rssh doesn't allow this option...but is essential to me (cyphered transmission with ssh). Surfing the net i've seen a guy that made a patch but I don't know how reliable is...and rssh former programer says he just left the project so it's no longer his problem. Is this stuff going to be updated in rsync or is just a rssh problem? I guess I'm not the only one using rsync combined with rssh, so it would be nice having a reliable solution (and by the way an easy one if that's possible). I would like to thank to everybody that have made possible rsync..this has to be really hard...and it's a very good program..so thank you very much. And also to everybody nice enough to answer questions here letting newbies (like me) an easy aproach to rsync. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

If rssh is not being updated, you could switch to another tool, such as the "support/rrsync" that comes in the rsync source package and is maintained with rsync. The version that comes with rsync 3.0.0 doesn't know about -e, but the latest development version has been fixed: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/rrsync Matt
