What is best way to secure rsync shares?
- SEJeff 13y agoDon't run rsync in daemon mode, only use it over ssh. Then there is no problem
- RexRollman 13y agoAre rsync passwords normally plaintext is not over ssh?
- stevekemp 13y agoEither firewall the service, via iptables, or the ACL system that rsync supports natively: [foo] path = /srv/foo hosts allow 1.2.3.4, 10.20.30.0/24 In addition to that you can use passwords with rsync, or avoid exposing it directly and use ssh as a transport - secured with keys.
- epoxyhockey 13y agoUsing ssh as a transport has been my solution and it has been working very well. The sample command to do this is listed under the Troubleshooting section of this page: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html
