I looked a bit into Pexpect and Paramiko but expect doesn't seem very secure and I wasn't sure how to configure Paramiko so I could rsync from the local computer to the remote server. GRSYNC-BATCH is a script which can be used to automatize rsync runs using grsync sessions (see man grsync). It is a rsync GUI (Graphical User Interface).
#Grsync sessions password
The only trouble I'm coming across is passing the password (entered in the GUI) to the server after I execute the command :,You would first have to encrypt the password, using whatever method your OS uses and then pass the encrypted password (unless it will be encrypted somewhere along the line), as only the very, very foolish store unencrypted passwords.,Since I want the user to authenticate everytime they use the GUI I don't want to setup an automated ssh key session. Grsync is used to synchronize folders, files and make backups. It currently supports only a limited set of the most important rsync features, but can be used effectively for local directory synchronization. Using Grsync, you can easily backup, transfer, synchronize files and folders within the local system or between a local and remote systems. Use PuTTY or another SSH client to log in to the source server as user root.

The nf file controls authentication, access. Today, I will introduce some graphical front-end tools called Grsync and Gadmin-rsync which will help to ease the usage of rsync tool. for example it can be put into crontab for scheduled execution on terminal, and to get the results via email. I just noticed that it may be possible to do something similar on Bionic. Connections from rsync clients are accepted for either anonymous or authenticated rsync sessions.

DESCRIPTION GRSYNC is a graphical interface using GTK2 for the rsync command line program. I discovered that the following works:Ģ Navigate to network share (which in my case is on Ubuntu Bionic Desktop PC)ģ Left click to open shared network folder for browsingĤ Right click in navigation panel offers: "Open in terminal window" - select thisĥ Terminal window shows (what to me was unlikely) path on the status Copy to clipboard path from the terminal window ie: /run/user/USERIDNUMBER/gvfs/smb-share:server=PCNAME,share=SHAREDFOLDERNAMEħ Launch Grsync and paste path into source, edit for subfolders if desiredĨ Save the session for future use in Grsync GRSYNC-BATCH is a script which can be used to automate rsync runs using grsync sessions (see man grsync). I have never had trouble before but now notice that the destination is much larger than than the source and the problem appears to be that files deleted on source are not deleted on destination. grsync -e -s sessionname grsync -i sessionfilename.
#Grsync sessions portable
My portable machine is a 10 year old netbook so it is running the lightweight Ubuntu derived Bodhi 5 os which has PCManFM as its default file manager. There is a partial solution using PCManFM.
