Hello all,

I'll start by saying I'm very new to MAC but comfortable in using the command line thanks to using a linux a lot.

I currently have rsync setup to run between a MAC OSX 10.5.8 server to a Linux Centos 5.5 Server. This is the command I'm running on the MAC server:

rsync -avhe ssh "/Path/To/Data" [email protected]:data/

As it does it prompts for a password but I need it to save the password. After looking around I need to use:

ssh-keygen -t dsa

save the passkey and then move it over to the Linux server using:

ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub [email protected]

But ssh-copy-id doesnt seem to exist on the MAC server. How do I copy this key over? I've tried searching for the answer myself but the help seems to be all over the place for this..

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Scott
