The problem is, I can either set rsh to allow transfers without a password, or it won't let me transfer files at all.

I've used rsync with the ssh 'blowfish' option on slow processors (older sparcs, slower pentiums) with good success.

Tried that, not good enough. Too bad ssh doesn't have a plain-text "encryption" option. :-)

There are "cipher none" ssh patches. I think these might be built into later openssh versions, but I don't think the version that comes with RHEL4.4 (thus CentOS) has it. Building your own openssh version might work.

Don't hold me to that, though!
