Thanks for the suggestion.

I set this up many years ago so I cannot be absolutely certain but I
suspect that I used rsync the way I did because that is the method that
was documented at the time.

I am open to doing something different if there are viable options
available.

As for ssh in particular, my personal ssh credentials for c-l.net
stopped working a while ago.  Though, for the purpose of a cron job, a
account with read-only access to project data would feel more
appropriate.

Kindly,

Carl
