Replication from Scale to Core

The instructions for Scale suggest using admin as the routine user and having root password login disabled. If I do this I cannot create an SSH connection from Scale to Core for replication purposes. I worked round this by doing all my replication by connecting from Core to Scale. Core does know how to connect to the admin user and use sudo.

Is there a workround for this, other than enabling root password login on Scale, which we are advised against?
I originally discovered this using Scale Cobia and Core 13.0, but I haven’t checked whether the situation has changed with current versions.

Surely I can’t be the only person to come across this problem?

Am new here, Hello :slight_smile:

as far as what is advised vs. what works, do what works. Unless you are in an unfriendly network. If so then yes, follow the advise. My 2 cents

Also, I’d play around in VMs and “deploy” a solution after the VM didn’t brake anything fooling around on the command line. another 2 cents

CORE is going the way of the dodo. The sensible alternative is to jump to SCALE. ( but I guess you know all this and have reasons to keep the CORE box as is )

I think you can disable password login but keep SSH login enabled for root.

Thanks for the advice, both. If there is a way to login via ssh without having password login for root I was unable to find it - or rather it didn’t work.

I suspect if I want it to work I will have to enable root login. In the local circumstances I don’t think that is an enormous problem, I just didn’t do it in case it became even more deprecated in a later version of Scale.
