rsync - Mar 2004 - rsync wont work

can someone tell me what am i doing wrong?

d# rsync -vcrlpogtz . rsync@domain.ltd:/rsync/
rsync@domain.ltd's password:
sh: rsync: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync
error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189)
d#

it works fine if i just specify directory instead of remote site, but thats
not what i need..

thanks in advance

As you may recall from the last time I answered you, please send the same 
thing, but use 3 "v"s instead of only one.
rsync -vvvcrlpogtz . rsync@domain.ltd:/rsync/
Since you don't know which transport you are using, we can read the output 
from the above command to find out.
You are not getting to a remote rsync process, either because the 
transport (rsh/remsh or ssh) is not getting there (only a failed 
authentication is possible, from the fact that you're getting a password 
prompt), or because once it's there, it's not finding the remote rsync 
binary(or not allowed to execute it).  Once we know you're getting a shell 
open to rsync@domain.ltd, we then do
(rsh || ssh) (depending on what rsync is using in your case) -l rsync 
domain.ltd which rsync
which will probably give a "not found".
find where it is on that system, and try your command again with 
--rsync-path=/wherever/you/have/rsync/on/domain.ltd/rsync .

Repeating the question in exactly the same way, yet again, will not give 
the information needed to solve your problem.

Can someone tell me what exactly is the difference between these two?

According to man pages

--archives is equivalent to -rlptgoD
But what --backup equivalent to?

Thanks

The --archive option is just a convenience option that preserves all the
attributes of a file while (almost always) turning on directory
recursion.

The --backup option is for maintaining a backup version of every file
that changes.  See also the --backup-dir option in the man page.
