Google ssh keys for explaination. Read some of the many tutorials on rsync out there. Tip: if you're going to run the script daily you should consider setting up a lock file. By using a lock file you won't have to worry about the script completing before the next one starts. If you're impatient email me and I'll give you a copy of the script I wrote.
