Subject: [gentoo-user] Copying a file via ssh with no password, keeping the system safe
Date: Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:45:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101007184549.65756vlexbx2u7sw@momessonet.ath.cx> (raw)
Hi list,
I need to set up a cron job to transfer a file every day from server A
to server B.
I'd like to do that via ssh and with no user assistance, completely automated.
Setting up a public key, would do the job, but then, all the
connections between the servers would be passwordless, so if server A
gets compromised, also server B is screwed.
Is there a way to allow only one single command from a single cronjob
to operate passwordless, while keeping all the other connections
secured by a password?
Thank you in advance for your help.
