How to SSH to Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)

 When trying to SSH to an old server, running Panther, from a more modern system, you can get a message like $ ssh 192.168.0.13 Unable to negotiate with 192.168.0.13 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 Work around it to manually specify the cipher with the “-c” option. You will also probably need to specify the KexAlgorithm $  ssh -c aes128-cbc -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 192.168.0.13 The authenticity of host '192.168.0.13 (192.168.0.13)' can't be established.

How to set-up a rsync server in Mac OS X / macOS

Source: https://www.jafdip.com/how-to-setup-rsyncd-on-mac-os-x/ One of the most versatile utilities developed is rsync , however; learning to effectively use the application can be a daunting task. Rsync is useful for conducting backups to remote file servers or even mirroring a local drive to a removable one. It supports transferring files over ssh as well as it’s own protocol. Unfortunately, to use the built in rsync protocol you need to set up an rsync server, which on a Mac can be quite tricky. On the one hand, you can simply type rsync —daemon and it will start a rsync daemon running on TCP port 873. But without the appropriate rsyncd.conf things can get a little messy. In addition, if you reboot the ‘server’ the process will not restart automatically. The worst thing is to have a system that has been operational for several months suddenly stop because someone rebooted the hardware and no one remembered that the process needed to be relaunched. Personally, I think it is much ...
