Topic: Rsync/Dungog Help

[CKConsulting]

I'm trying to use Dungog to Rsync server1(ibay) to server2(Ibay) accross the WAN.

-I created a user on both servers (test1) same password on both servers.
-I installed the RPM so could give both users shell access
-I'm following the instructions from post http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=23215.msg93167#msg93167
- I used putty and logged into server2 as (test1) and performed the following steps
- I keep getting permission denied on the 5th step below. (scp id_rsa.pub server1.com:.ssh/local.pub)

bash-2.05a$ scp id_rsa.pub server1.com:.ssh/localserver.pub
test1@server1.com's password:
scp: .ssh/localserver.pub: Permission denied

- I'm using the password of the test1 account
-I'm having issues trouble shooting because I don't know what the command is doing?

 

enable shell access to both servers for a common username
ssh to both servers, mkdir ~/.ssh
ssh to local.server.net, cd to ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa [accept file name id_rsa][don't enter a passphrase]
scp id_rsa.pub remote.server.net:.ssh/local.pub
slogin remote.server.net
cd .ssh
cat local.pub >> authorized_keys

Thanks,
Rick

Try this, bearing in mind that in the case below:
- the user on both box is called "backupop",
- we are copying the key from server1 onto server2 (in this   case ftp.burnat.com).
- Bash is enabled on server 2 for user "backupop" .

bash-2.05a$ scp id_rsa.pub backupop\@ftp.burnat.com:.ssh/local.pub
The authenticity of host 'ftp.burnat.com (203.47.55.180)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is e5:cc:00:5c:57:ec:86:52:8d:1a:36:82:a3:36:68:ba.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'ftp.burnat.com,203.47.55.180' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
backupop@ftp.burnat.com's password:
[supply password]
id_rsa.pub                                    100%  223     0.0KB/s   00:00

I can send you the full logs of the installation if you wish.

PS: copy to server2, and consider .ssh/local.pub - not .ssh/localserver.pub

Hello Rick,

I have set up something similar. I backup all relevant data from a SME server to a Fedora Core2 server with Rsync.

I have written up a howto for personal use. If you are interrested, I can mail you the document.
send an email to:  vriesli @ freesurf.ch

Thanks, I got it working. This is great!
Backuppc for daily backups and rsync for offsite DR.
Reliable backups at a low cost.

Now, if I could backup a windows box over the WAN to a SME box all would be right in world.

good to hear, dungog is great!  Google DoubleImage for windoes.  you can use DBimage to "rsync" windoes box on schedule onto an ibay on a local sme server, then use dungog rsync to move the files of site.
