If /home/user is your home directory, and user is the same on both 
sides, try this instead -

    $ unison pictures ssh://ip.add.re.ss/pictures


The update is bidirectional regardless of which end makes the 
connection. So you can run this either on the laptop, the desktop, or 
both (but obviously(?) not at the same time). In the scenario where I 
tried this at home just now, I had ssh configured not to ask for a 
password, but rather to use a pre-configured public/private certificate 
pair. It appears to work just find if ssh does prompt for a password, 
though.

What output do you get from running this command? (Specifically I'm 
interested in seeing whether there is *anything* output other than the 
result of the date command itself.)

    $ ssh ip.add.re.ss date

I don't understand what you're saying, here. I've given you a 
command-line instruction to try at the top of the email, which is pretty 
much the same as you gave in your earlier email. It works but it doesn't 
work? I must be missing something.
