Thanks for links. I'm no security guru, and don't really understood what you are trying to do, but if you copy your $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the other machine, and add it to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys there you should not be asked for a password. Also I don't think there is really a choice between rsync and scp. You can opt to use ssh with rsync, and I think that is the norm. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
