right user for copying files into /var/www/virtual? i dont want to use root!

Babelduo · 03-10-2011, 09:59 AM

hi,

i would like to copy all files from my server001 (/var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs/) to my server002 (/var/www/virtual/*/htdocs/)

i would do it via rsync... but i dont want to do it as root! what would be the right user with which I should login myself via rsync?

www-data? its the group of each domain-folder...

Quote:

server002:/var/www/virtual# ls -lh
insgesamt 4,0K
drwxrwx--- 10 vu2001 www-data 4,0K 9. Mär 09:58 domain.com
server002:/var/www/virtual#

but the files inside htdocs are only accessable for the user!

Code:

server002:/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs# ls -lh | grep index.php
-rwxr-xr-x  1 vu2001 vu2001  397 24. Feb 23:30 index.php
server002:/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs#

server002 will be the backup-server if the server001 is down!

thx,
kim

vu2001? rsync doesn't require you to use root.

hi! thanks but thats not what i'm searching for. i want ONE user who has access to the htdocs-data of all domains - but not root

. because there are many users... vu2001, vu2002, vu2003...

i dont want to configure ssh-keys for each user for automatic login via ssh/rsync. you know?
