Greetings, I have not been able to debug this transfer problem. It was working find and then last week it stopped. I don't know what changed. I have three hosts, T (tru64unix 4.0g), Y (tru64unix 4.0g), and D (Linux). Rsync transfers using /usr/local/bin/rsync -rptgoqLC --delete -e '/usr/local/bin/ssh -v' /root/passwd name:/home/mine work fine from T to D, D to T, Y to T, and Y to D resulting in debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 0.7 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0 debug1: Exit status 0 stop: transfers from T to Y and D to Y result in debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 0.6 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0 debug1: Exit status -1 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) stop: In a nutshell transfers to Y don't work. I'm running rsync v2.5.6. Any ideas? *********************************************************** Todd Seeleman, Systems Analyst email: seeleman@gse.upenn.edu Penn Graduate School of Education phone: 215.573.8378 3700 Walnut St., Rm. 002 fax: 215.746.6572 Philadelphia, PA. 19104-6216 ***********************************************************
