Ok going to try my hand at cli rsync over ssh, but I have lots of questions,
my server does not have keyboard or monitor, I can access it via ssh and I
can VNC into the box.
I have had a little play but failed so here's a couple of questions
1) I assume I ssh from my PC to Server?
2) Where do I run the rsync from the server or PC?
3) Here is the command I was using (assuming I run rsync on the server)
4) Do I run rsync as a user or root?
rsync -rp PC:/home/mit/web/newbpk4/ /var/www/baiter
(newbpk4 is where I store the files for my web site)
I am only intending to run web site on the server as a test, I will ftp to the
internet from my PC
Finally anyone looking at installing Apache2 on their PC\Server to play and
run Debian might want to look here (it also includes installing Mysql and
PHP).
