This is a smidge over my head in Linux.

I have 2 boxes, both have disabled password authentication for use with putty.

I'm trying to rsync two servers:

From my backup box:

rsync -e ssh -avz --delete --stats --progress user@server:/path /path

That has worked forever (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Now that I have disabled password auth, I'm getting this:

Permission Denied (publickey, gssapi-with-mic)

How do I get my putty private/public keys to work with rsync between two servers with pass auth disabled with my putty keys?

depends how you're trying to do it. do you wanna do rsh-over-ssh or do you want a standalone rsh? if you wanna do it over ssh, then you gotta get passwordless ssh logins to work first, there's plenty of writeups on that, best ones are on ibm's site.

standalone rsh is much easier, you make your own password file, and just go against that. the bad part is that i don't think transmissions are encoded, but the good part is that it's completely separate so you don't have to update it every time you gotta change the password.

I have the two servers connecting now, but, I'm now being prompted for the rsync password for my RSA key.

I had it working with passwordless authentication, but, since I've turned off pass-auth, the passwordless rsync, syncs, are now asking for passwords.

I'm still playing with it.
