Re: [Fab-user] rsync via local

[Thomas Bikeev]

Hi Jeff,

you are right: it seems that local indeed behaves same in 0.01 and 0.9

(I am really confused now since I can not reproduce that what I  
thought was a successful behaviour.)

My second thought was I have used local_per_host with success but also  
this would prompt me for the pw in the scenario where key-based  
authentication is not possible.

So I will dig some more. I guess in a nutshell my problem is:

"How to pass externally stored pw to local/rsync command?"

Regards, Thomas
