man ssh-keygen
man ssh-copy-id

It is really straightforward...


Thanks. I tried this, among other things, and just couldn't get it to work. Maybe it was something I had screwed up in the past. I like your idea for logging the verbose output to a file, though, so I might do that.

I don't care too much about bi-directional sync, since I don't expect to change things on the tablet, just read them. That link might be useful to others reading this thread, however.

I'm running into a couple issues here, though.

First is an error:
"rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1385) [generator=2. 6.9]"
It doesn't look like anything is missing from the synced folders, and google tells me that code can mean all sorts of innocuous things, so I don't mind it. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

Secondly, even with the flags as set up as above -v is spitting out filenames. Is rsync just telling me what files are being checked, or is it recopying everything that's already been copied (which it shouldn't with the -u flag)? The entire action takes only a couple minutes for 1.5 GB, so I'm guessing it's the former.
