Hi, This is a very simple question I realise, but I hope maybe someone can just help me out. I am trying to do a very simple thing, just transfer a file from machine A to machine B using rsync with ssh. This is what i'm typing: bash-2.03# rsync -avvv --rsh="ssh -l tdf" tdf@machine.niss.ac.uk:/export/home/tdf/demofile.html demofile.html This is what I get: opening connection

WHY OH WHY does rsync SEND and CREATE a file called RepositoryPath ALTHOUGH the rsync is called like rsync "--exclude=*.bup RepositoryPath" ... can ANYBODY explain. ALSO when you specify an exclude list on the server in the rsyncd.conf file and you call rsync with the --delete option WHY DO THE FILES that SHOULD BE EXCLUDED get deleted ?? Jeeez, what a bummer W

HI all, I wonder how rsync works when files-to-be-updated are in flash (e.g. on IPAQ) Ideally rsync should write to the flash as little as possible (because of max reflash count) SO ideally the following should happen If file needs to be updated, the new file is created. Then the old file is deleted the new file is renamed to the old file (making sure that the file does not get copied over)

Hi all, I have an automount setup. when some app tries to access a remote smb server which is unreachable (but the network exists), the mount.smbfs that tries to mount the fs basically never times out causing the app to hang. Is there a connect timeout option somewhere that can unlock this hang ? W

If you do mount.smbfs, how can you set the connect timeout ? This is the timeout used on the connect to the smbd/nmbd server ?

HI all, efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks Suppose I know the list of files that are changed What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list. Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from
