Hi, i`m wondering - can't THIS one http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync-patches.git;a=blob;f=openssl-support.diff be completely replaced with THIS one ? http://dozzie.jarowit.net/trac/wiki/RsyncSSL http://dozzie.jarowit.net/git?p=rsync-ssl.git;a=tree Isn`t RsyncSSL (wrap rsync with stunnel via stdin/out) the better solution ? (as it is using a mature external program for the SSL stuff) regards roland

...- leaving room for hacking and circumventing ssh restrictions. indeed, rsyncd with ssl is quite attractive, but adding ssl to rsync adds quite some complexity and also increases maintenance work. for some time there is a ssl patch in the contrib directory, but i`m curious why nobody is aware of rsyncssl, which is not a perfect but quite some elegant solution to support wrapping rsyncd with ssl via stunnel: http://dozzie.jarowit.net/trac/wiki/RsyncSSL https://git.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=commit;h=70d4a945f7d1ab1aca2c3ca8535240fad4bdf06b regards roland > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 03.

rsync in daemon mode is very powerful, yet it comes with one big disadvantage: data is sent in plain. The workarounds are not really satisfying: - use VPN - one needs to set up an extra service, not always possible - use stunnel - as above - use SSH - is not as powerful as in daemon mode (i.e. read only access, chroot, easy way of adding/modifying users and modules etc.) Why was encrypted

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1890 --- Comment #11 from roland <devzero at web.de> 2013-11-22 22:21:30 UTC --- from the rsync 3.1.0 release notes : Rsync now comes packaged with an rsync-ssl helper script that can be used to contact a remote rsync daemon using a piped-stunnel command. It also includes an stunnel config file to run the server side to support
