Rsync over SSH
Hi, I would like to backup folders, over the internet, from my RN104 to an RN102 elsewhere (for disaster protection). Rsync seems like the way to do this, it makes a nice copy of the source folder,...
So SSH it is...
I've managed to enter the public key of my local system into the 'authorized_keys' file (in the ~/.ssh folder) on the opposite system.
I've also modified the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, removed the # before AuthorizedKeyFile, it now points to the key file mentioned above.
But no luck so far...
A regular rsync works, but when I set it to use SSH it fails (unable to connect to host).
(and at the moment I still have them sitting next to eachother on the same network)
Is there anything else I need to change?
