SSH settings

In this view you can let RsyncUI assist in creating ssh-key and setup global ssh-keypath and identityfile. ssh-key is requiered for passwordless logins to remotes servers. You can either utilizing default values for ssh-key or set your own. There is some more info about passwordless logins.

ssh keys

Local ssh-key is present

If on RsyncUI has found a local ssh-key.

Default values for RSA based ssh-key is ~/.ssh/id_rsa and portnumber 22. It is not required to set your own values for ssh-keypath and identityfile if default values are used. If there are no local ssh-key selecting the Create button will create the keys. If ssh-key is present, either default values or by the user set ssh-keypath and identityfile, RsyncUI will mark it.

Set ssh-keypath and identityfile

The user can set a selected ssh-keypath and identityfile which applies to all configurations.

  • ssh-keypath + identityfile, user selected if other than default
  • portnumber, which ssh communicates through

If global values are set, this is what the ssh parameter within the rsync command looks like

-e  "ssh -i ~/.ssh_keypath/identityfile -p NN"

where

  • -i is the ssh-keypath and identityfile
  • -p is the port number ssh communicates through, default port 22

If global ssh parameters are set, it applies to all configurations. It is possible to set other ssh values on each task. Global ssh-keypath and identityfile in use.
