rsync - Feb 2006 - rsync : connection unexpectedly closed

Hi all,

    I am working on a networking product in which i am using Rsync to update
configuration files in them.
    While syncing a file of 5.5MB, i am facing a problem. An error is displayed
and the syncing process is terminated.
    The error is as below:

       rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1804855 bytes received so far)
[receiver]
       rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (39 bytes received so far)
[generator]

      The rsync command line is given as below:

           rsync --timeout=60  srcIp::path/file.tar.gz  destPath/destFile

      On looking into the code, i found the comment saying that expecting an EOF
over a network is wrong. Hence a wait for
      10 seconds is done and then the connection is terminated. Does the
increase in the time to a higher value solve this
       problem ? Or is there any other fix available for this issue. 

       Any help on this regard is greatly appreciated.
       
  Best Regards,
   Vijay Ram.C

See the issues and debugging page for details on how to figure out why
the connection closed.  The first step listed for a daemon is to check
the log file, since it should tell you what reason the daemon gave for
the abnormal termination (assuming it didn't crash).  If it is exiting
with a timeout, try a more modern version of rsync.  If it is exiting
with a similar unexpected-close or write-failed error, then you have a
failing-connection problem outside of rsync that you need to solve.
