I've got a few files that I'd like to sync to a remote server. I've set up a command that looks like this
do shell script "rsync -Ezpu /Users/me/Desktop/rsync.scpt serverUser@10.0.0.1:/Users/server/Desktop/"
Which works fine as a shell script, prompting for the password.. Trick is I'd like to send the command with the password..
I've figured out three things..
1. I can use a variable RSYNC_PASSWORD=mypassword
If that's true, then this should work:
do shell script "RSYNC_PASSWORD=mypassword rsync -Ezpu ..."
There you are ! :)
I tried exactly that syntax, still errored, I think that the dictionary says something about this only working if you are using an rsync server.. but I thought this should have worked.. maybe I should try again ...
It's a rather handy feature of sh; you can set up extra environment variables for a single command. 2. Store the password in a file, then use the command --password-file=/path/to/password/file
do shell script "echo mypassword > /path/to/password/file"
I did not try echo-ing the password, I'll have a crack at this and report back if it works do shell script "rsync --password-file=/path/to/password/file -Ezpu ..."
Also tired this with no luck.. 3. Use ssh-keygen to store the passwords..? Not really what I want.
No clue, but you said you don't want it anyway. =)
