Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket The command I used was rsync -e ssh gas.exe 10.105.50.180:src/ It works like I said on NT4 and from my Linux pc. I have cygwin installed on the win98 and NT. Rsync is version 2.4.6 Is it just because Win9x SU**s? Also where can I get a list of

Can you tell me a place to download RSYNC 2.5.2 for Windows Nt and the documentation?. Thanks.

Hi there, I'm playing arround with rsync under W2K in conjunction with the cygwin environment. What I want is to get rsync copy a folder tree from one W2K machine to another W2K machine through a firewall. I installed the cygwin on both machines and got the rsync running which is using an openssh connection with public key authentication. Everything works fine except for the assignment of

Hello, I'm working on the oscar-1.3 release with my Linux Itanium's cluster to test cloning process via systemimager. After having succeeded to boot my client node via the network, when running the following script : /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/ced1.sh rsync is able to get small files (e.g : mkdosfs). However, when the script tries to rsync the whole oscar image in the following way :

I just did a win2k install, and as I thought i'd remembered, it asked whether the hardware clock was UTC or localtime (and recommends localtime). Of course, I chose UTC, but most would probably follow MegaSloth's recommendation. I don't know how to change it on an already-installed system, though. Does anyone else?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Some paths on the remote server may require authentication. If so then you will receive a password prompt when you con- nect. You can avoid the password prompt by setting the environment variable RSYNC_PASSWORD to the password you want to use or using the --password-file option. This may be use-

It's much easier than that. The linux box keeps time in GMT, and displays it in the configured time zone. Try this, on the linux box: "touch testfile ls -l testfile TZ=EST5 export TZ ls -l testfile" You will see the displayed time change, because it's being translated from epoch time (that's what I call it, anyway) - seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970.

Ah... there's your answer. ssh is working fine, as you say, but you're invoking rsync without telling it to user ssh, so it's using rsh. If you've got this, you don't need rsyncd.conf. The syntax you're using tells rsync to use an external transport. rsync -e ssh file rmt_host:/tmp Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

Are there issues between different versions of rsync? Specifically I have a 2.4.6 on solaris 8 pushing to a 2.3.0 on solaris 2.6 over ssh(F-Secure version). The issue that I am seeing is that when I use the following command: rsync --delete -rlvp -e ssh2 $localdir user@host:remotedir The user and group are different on both boxes(neither being root). Any help would be appreciated. --Jeff

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt

Sir, How to run the rsync server in the remote machine. I want to mirror the set of directories from one machine to another machine which are in the network.

How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

Hi, I have some files size 400MB+ that my rsync ends on, error message is : "Write failed: Broken pipe". Without this "big files" everything works smoothe.

Hi all, I have started the rsync in deamon mode. When I use the following command: rsync --port 9876 u018::treeA it seems to work fine but no files are copied from the server. Using rsync without the deamon works fine. I tried to debug it a little bit, but I am unable to figure out what's wrong. 337:david@u050 /export/treeA> rsync -r -vvv --port 9876 u018::treeA opening tcp
