Gadmin-Rsync - Local to Remote Backup via SSH Asks Again For Remote Password That is Already Stored in Gadmin-Rsync Job

[Roy Gilby]

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Gadmin-Rsync Version: 0.1.7-1

When using Gadmin-Rsync to create a Local to Remote Backup using SSH, the dialog box asks for and stores both the Login Name and Password that is required to access the remote server. However, when the backup is run, the stored login name is utilised, but the stored password is ignored, and the password is asked for via keyboard input.

This appears to be a bug whereby the application does not utilise the remote server password that is already stored in the backup configuration.

This bug causes User keyboard input (that is; re-enter the remote server's password) to be required each time that the backup job is run, and as a result the Gadmin-Rsync remote backup jobs can no longer be run successfully as Cron Jobs.

This bug did not exist when using Gadmin-Rsync on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
