What is the command structure for the "-e" flag to run rsync without the ssh shell? I am using rsync 2.5.7.
If you are moving data across a network then you need a network transport mechanism. If you specify a user@host:dir in the source or destination then you need a transport. ssh is the default transport in 2.5.7. If you want to use rsh then you must specify -e rsh. (or another mechanism) If you are syncing locally without going from one system to another then you do not need a -e flag and you will not have the user@host:dir specification -- simple two path names. eric Richmond Dyes wrote:> > What is the command structure for the "-e" flag to run rsync without > the ssh shell?
