Sorry being dense here.

When i run locally, it works fine, but i use my system password when challenged.

When i do it remotely, i always get permission denied errors, whether using system password, or password from my scrt file.

Any ideas what i’m doing wrong, or how to debug?

Thanks for the how-to. It seems that that rsync has changed in 9.04. The command to make a backup to the server is as follows:

$ rsync -vr SRC username@server_ip::workspace

That’s all I needed to do.
