Thanks for your responses, the bitvise s/w has a group of issues, being it took over an hour to the the public key authentication working. Once that was done the next was what is the syntax for the target path.

 

 

Of all things the target path needed to be "." (thats a dot only in the path.

 

 

The full patch was part of the bitvise configuration and the addition of the 2nd key for the standby unit was simple to setup once getting authentication working.

 

Note if you are running a HA setup warning message will still occur until both public keys are on the target server.

 

 

Well learnt a lot, hope this will help someone else in the future

 

Bitvise version 5

 

 

Cheers
