At present I have a cron job which tars up some files and FTPs them to another site. That's not secure enough for me. I've thought about using ssh, but I've not been able to initiate the transfer from a script. This sounds like the ideal solution. Any other suggestions? -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited [I'm looking for more work] http://www.dvl-software.com/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
