Rsync Ver: 2.5.5 OS: HPUX-11 Hello List, I'm using rsync with ssh with this command line: rsync -avz -e ssh some_file user-b@hostname-b:/home/user-b Which does work, however I get the following error output: rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at main.c(578) Since the file does transfer, is the error output just some sort of bug? I looked in the maillist archives, and I found only one person that replied stating that the error message was merely a "user friendly nit". What I would like to know is: A) Is the error message something to be concerned about? B) Is there a patch? C) What option to use to surpress the error message? However, I did find it odd in using the following command line, I did not get any error output: rsync -avz -e ssh hostname-a:/home/user-a/some_file /home/user-b Any help with the error message would be greatly appreciated. Rick King

JW, Thank you for replying. You are correct in that I do have two identical machines, thanks for clarifying. It seems I still get the same exact error message with or without using SSH. Which brings me back to why I'm I getting the error message, eventhough the file has transferred?
