Hi there, I need to set-up something to syncronise (say every hour) a set of ftp and config files between two servers and rsync seems to be the prog for the job (for a HA ftp server using Pro-ftp). But so far, unless i run as root, with root being able to login to both servers, it doesn't work. I get the feeling i'm getting confused with rsh and ssh setups and bits....hence an idiots guid to getting the job done would be a life saver Any pointers ???

I was quite confused between using rsync with rsh/ssh and using the daemon mode, the difference being the client side with an extra : eg rsync -avz ftpsync@10.1.1.29::ftp /home/proftp/ Also i was having problems as my rsync.conf had [ftp file] as I thought the stuff in the brackets was a nominal name rather than an actual module name Oh and theres a useful guide at http://www.freebsddiary.org/rsync.php Ta, Lee -- Lee Edward Armstrong (now in maried form!)http://www.darkwave.org.uk/~lee My Clothes Will Impress You, And My Claws Will Undress You. - The Damned
