Hi folks, I'm considering setting up a commercial backup service. I've already got ProFTPd set up to do secure FTP with remote users authenticating via a MySQL lookup. What I'd like to know is if I can do the same thing with rsync? Specifically, can I run rsync as a daemon that permits secure connections and encrypted transfers from remote users using the same MySQL database for authentication that I'm already using for ftp? -- Cheers, Rob Fargher
