Hi All, I'm a newbie to RSYNC on Windows. I installed RSYNC(version 2.5.1) on Windows and it is running as a service on Windows 2000. I've been trying to copy some files using RSYNC on linux machine running RH Linux 7.2 kernel 2.4.7 from Windows 2000 machines using the following command: $rsync -avz -e ssh <windows-machine>:/rsync/* . but i'm getting the following error "unexpected EOF in read_timeout". I'm running Openssh 3.4p1 I tried to find info on the archives but they seem not related to this specific problem. I'd appreciate if any of you gurus help in this issue. Thanks, Peram __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com

You might checkout these pages: * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/RsyncingALargeFile * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/RsyncingALargeFileBeginner "An "unexpected EOF on read_timeout" error often indicates something is taking too much time on the server. Don't specify the -c option, don't rsync more than one large file in a single rsync command, etc." Randy Kramer
Does it copy anything? Does ssh to that box work fine? I assume you're running openssh on cygwin on w2k. The "unexpected EOF" message can come from many different kinds of problems on the remote end. I don't know if the ssh version will be a problem or not, but personally I have stayed away from openssh 3.4 on all platforms because it has had a lot of problems with the new privilege separation mode. Instead, I applied the simple security fix that was posted to www.openssh.com to openssh 3.2. - Dave On Mon, Jul 29, 2002 at 07:32:26AM -0700, S Peram wrote:> Hi All, > I'm a newbie to RSYNC on Windows. > I installed RSYNC(version 2.5.1) on Windows and it is > running as a service on Windows 2000. > I've been trying to copy some files using RSYNC on > linux machine running RH Linux 7.2 kernel 2.4.7 from > Windows 2000 machines using the following command: > $rsync -avz -e ssh <windows-machine>:/rsync/* . > but i'm getting the following error > > "unexpected EOF in read_timeout". > I'm running Openssh 3.4p1 > I tried to find info on the archives but they seem not > related to this specific problem. > I'd appreciate if any of you gurus help in this issue. > > Thanks, > Peram > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
