Password protected key authorization with rsync
I have Cygwin on Windows 7 and I would like to download files from a remote Linux server, and this would be with a key pair authorization, and one of the keys is password protected.
Is this possibe? How would I do that? Not too much info about it on the Internet, it seems like... Thanks! ### This is already solved. It will just ask me for the password, and it will work... |

Generally speaking, if you need "single sign-on" (your credentials work on many [remote] systems), the best way to achieve that is by using a central-management technology like Kerberos or LDAP (a.k.a. MS OpenDirectory). Don't try to use individual password-files. While such things "can be made to work, after a fashion," they are pragmatically un-manageable.
