Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Rdiff-backup over FTP

[Gregy]

I use rdiff-backup under one user "backup". I use ssh keys and in
front of the key i put rdiff-backup --server --restrict ..etc That
ensures that if you log-in with specific key you are restricted to
rdiff-backup and one particular directory..sample below. To answer
your question..you can login without password by using ssh key.

command="cd /mnt/raid/Backup/ && rdiff-backup --server --restrict
John/",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa
