I am trying to copy files in a directory named /opt/config/ on server DevlServ to the same directory on server ApplServ1. I have tried the following without much success: rsync --rsh= cp /opt/config/on DevlServ:/opt/config rsync rsh cp /opt/config/on DevlServ:/opt/config Both of the above results in error messages. I can rsh to server DevlServ from the UNIX command line without being requested to enter a password, so I am pretty confident that rsh is setup correctly and I have full permissions to both directories. I think I just need to get the syntax right. HELP The error message I get is as follows: config cp: cannot access DevlServ cp: cannot access --server cp: .: is a directory rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(140) I would appreciate any suggestions.
