    Hey

    I use rsync through ssh to backup selected folders to my other computer. I've built a script that backs up each folder in turn. Theres about 5 folders to synchronise, and I get asked for a password for each folder. I want the script to be automatic, so it can back up all folders without me getting prompted for a password each time.

    Now the catch is I only want one computer to be allowed password-less access to the ssh server. I want to continue getting asked for a password on all other machines, for obvious security reasons.

    Is this possible? And if so, how can I implement it?

    Thanks
