similar to: Setting up an rsync server

I am attempting to utilize the exclude from option in my rsync configuration file (rather than maintain lists on users machines) but it does not appear to be working. One example, I placed *.mp3 in the file to keep them from syncing mp3 files to the server and jamming up space. But rsync just seems to ignore this and syncs the files anyway without any errors to the syslog. All of my

Hi All: I am new to rsync so be gentle with me. I have been able to get rsync working enough to be able to list modules but not transfer files.

Hi all: I tried to start a rsync daemon under my user name (not an administrator) on debian linux box(linux kernel 2.4.27), and failed.

warning: rsync/sysadmin newbie question... I want to sync the web directory from my production server to my backup server (through ssh). rsync is working fine, except that it doesn't seem to authenticate my rsync user which is not a system user.

Hello everybody. I got a strange problem, which I hope to solve with your help. I'm doing "remote backups" using rsync in an ssh tunnel. In the last setup I realized, something is driving me crazy and I can't find *what* the problem is. I managed to successfully login via ssh in a "passwordless" way (by means of RSA-keys). After this step is done and I'm logged
