Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

The latest rsync (2.6.5) seems to invoke the transport specified by $RSYNC_RSH differently. I have this set to point at an ssh wrapper script (which is now I noticed), and an strace shows this: [archives/silva]#root@jazzbo*> strace -e trace=process -f /opt/bin/rsync -avHP /mnt/phat/archives/silva/. root@ali:/a/ali/home/.............

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync, with the transfers originating from a Win2K box and going to a Linux box. Both boxes are on my home LAN, so ssh is not required; I thought I would simply use the rsync protocol. I set up xinetd on my Linux box to start a rsync server when needed. My first attempts at a test run failed like so: $ rsync -a /cygdrive/c/installs/palm rsync://192.168.2.3/palm

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. I used the following command : /usr/sbin/rsync -vv --delete --recursive --times --perms --update source directory destinationmachine:destination directory. I got the error: Permission denied. How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

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 all, I have just re-joined the list. I have been using Rsync on my Linux servers for a number of years now without fault. I now have the need to Rsync data between two Solaris 2.7 servers. This has got me stumped... Hoping that someone might have a quick answer for me? bash-2.03$ rsync -auvvvz sydney:/sun /sun opening connection using remsh sydney rsync --server --sender -vvvulogDtprz . /sun

Dear rsync folks, I'd like to request/suggest that cli options to set TCP send/receive buffers be added to rsync client-side. Summary: I'm aware that a daemon's config-file can set socket options for the server side (e.g. SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF). That is useful. But when trying to get high-throughput rsync over long paths (i.e. large bandwidth*delay product), since

To Whomever can assist, I am looking for anyone who has gotten OpenSsh 3.7.1p2 to build under HP-UX 10.20. I am working with the latest gcc (v. 3.3.1), gmake (v. 3.80), and Openssl (0.9.7c) and I still can not get OpenSsh to build properly. It errors out on the build process with a: loginrec.c:1405: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type cing pointer to incomplete type loginrec.c:1514:

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

I've setup up a single-use key on a remote host to run rsync in server mode. I've also setup .ssh/config locally with an IdentityFile to select the single-use ssh key. This works on my Debian sid machine: rsync --rsh="ssh remove_host" :: But on another machine that command (and others tried below) do not access .ssh/config. The machine is running these: $ ssh -v

People of cygwin & rsync, I recently attempted to get cygwin and rsync working to solve a backup/mirroring need in my computer life. Well, as you might guess, I ran into a little but of trouble. Strangely enough, rsync seemed to be regularly hanging when I attempted to do a "get" (sycronize a remote to a local dir). Well, considering I want to automate this, that was not going

I added the enviroment variable RSYNC_RSH=ssh and every things seems to work fine, but there is no way to tell if rsync is actually using ssh or not?

Hi, I use rsync with ssh. My question is: how can rsync work only with ssh without scp o sftp? I have installed only rsync and ssh on my windows machine. Is the scp or sftp integrated within rsync? Why rsync need a shell? For login? Thanks in advance. Please respond to my email address too: mail@davideonline.it

I'm trying to rync working between the UK (Sun box) and India (AIX box) and am having a real problems getting it up and running because every time I do a full transfer it hangs. The Sun box is the one holding the canonical source which we want to mirror. I've been shipped to the India office to get this working and have tried hundreds of things over the last week, I've also scoured

hello all, i hope someone can help me out with this little nasty. i have openssh 2.3.0p1 installed on some hp-ux 11.00 boxes and a single linux box. i'm trying desperately to replace trusted hosts on these machines with something a little more secure. running some remote commands between the hp boxes, i'm getting different results with ssh than with remsh. root at hp1# remsh hp2 cat

This draft patch adds support for transferring extended attributes with a new --xattr option. It ought to work on Linux with XFS or ext2/ext3 filesystems with the SGI/bestbits attribute system. It is partially working, but there seems to be some kind of hang bug while transferring the file list. I suspect it might be provoking a problem in io.c. You need to rerun autoconf, autoheader and
