Shell and rsync

[chris bohnert]

Brent,

Rsync will use ssh by default.  If you're stuck with just using the ssh
transport (similar to doing an scp) then you should try 'Open Process'
followed by 'write to process'.  But  this bug,
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=3196, may get in your
way.

If you can put rsyncd on the remote server then you have one of two
options.  You can use the "--password-file" option on the command line or
you can try setting the environment variable 'RSYNC_PASSWORD'.
