Can you use rsync over ssh? rsync -e 'ssh -l user at domain.org' -vr domain.org:/path/to/remote /path/to/local I haven't tested that, but try it and see if it works for you. >>> mjn at umn.edu 08/29/03 09:58AM >>> or is rsync the problem? I've got an account on a RH box running Ensim WEBppliance for linux. I am trying to use rsync to connect to the box and backup a directory to my local machine. The problem is that the Ensim software uses virtual servers and instead of a plain old username, you've got to login with 'username at domain.org' So, likesay, an ssh connection must by executed like this: 'ssh -l username at domain.org domain.org' To be successful. The issue seems to be that rsync has no --user flag in it. I have tried a few variations of the command -and read the documentation over and over- and connecting like this: 'rsync -vr user at domain.org@domain.org:/path/to/remote /path/to/local' Always yields something like: "domain.org at domain.org's password: " Anyone have any ideas? I am thinking that I need to push from the server rather than pull from my workstation but then I would need access to the rsync executable on the server, which I don't have... Any suggestions would be much appretiated. thanks! -- _______________________________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs =============================================== E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com _______________________________________________ "What is important, it seems to me, is not so much to defend a culture whose existence has never kept a man from going hungry, as to extract, from what is called culture, ideas whose compelling force is identical with that of hunger." -Antonin Artaud _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
