Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve done this a few times now, and each time I need to Google for the instructions!

As an addition (for UK-English-speaking users), make sure that you title the remote file ‘authorized_keys’, and not ‘authorised_keys’ as I have done… Couldn’t work out why it wasn’t working (blushes)!

I must have something wrong, perhaps my rsync call is not using the correct identity ( I have more than one ) and then I was asked for confirmation and password. I hope in future to not be asked again and cron this events. Anyway, great post, in any language. I will check more deep on your blog

In the section on passwordless login the file you want to rename is id_rsa.pub NOT id_dsa.pub Just rename the file to authorized keys and upload inside of .ssh

For those that want to sync all files in their home directory such as for ubuntu linux just use:

/home/username

note I removed the * to rsync hidden files.

Thanks so much… my backups started failing and I started trying to track down what was going on… a quick Google and I found you already had the solution.

Appreciate it!

Thank you! I started my manual rsync a while ago and it’s going to take a while to sync 33 GB of files. I stumbled on getting the rsync to be “passwordless” and it never dawned on me to create the .ssh folder through FTP. Thanks again!
