SSH shortcuts

Open himbeles opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hey, your tool seems to be incompatible with ssh shortcuts. Say, you define an "ssh bookmark" in ~/.ssh/config for the destination folder which has the name "backup", then the SSH address parser in rsync-time-backup does not recognize the address as an ssh destination but rather a local folder and therefore does not find it. It would be great to have this functionality, for example if you want to use ssh keys instead of passwords. Just a small suggestion :)

I confirm this. I managed to use shortcuts with indicating username like this: username@shortcut:path. But then the script does not see previous backups, and each time starts transferring everything anew. Looking into the ssh parsing function might help.
