#26530: Tunneling rsync through SSH to permit selfupdate from behind a firewall -----------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: jemandel@… | Owner: wsiegrist@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: 1.9.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by jemandel@…): That will certainly work. My solution doesn't grant the user on machine 1 general access to machine 2. Thus, I can distribute a private key for machine 2 without having to worry about what the user on machine 1 might do with it. The other advantage is that I don't have to remember to bring up the proxy from the command line before doing selfupdate. I don't know that there are that many people in the same situation as I'm in (paranoid and incompetent IT blocking port 873 but not 22), but if so, you could implement this on rsync.macports.org and eliminate the need for a third machine in the transaction.
