similar to: Start Rsync Error

Hi all - I've searched long and hard for some docs on configuring a web proxy for rsync. This is probably in part an apache config question so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. What I would like to do is provide anonymous rsync access to a handful of IPs via a web proxy so I don't have to punch additional holes in my firewall. In other words, I'd like to use rsync over

My computers at my office will no longer be able to connect directly to web sites etc. I will be going through a proxy server. The particular server is running squid on port 3128. I have managed to configure web browsers, ssh, apt, svn and a whole lot of other tools to use the proxy server but I haven't been able to configure rsync. My usual method of updating my copy of the R-devel

Is it possible to rsync through a firewall that requires HTTP basic authentication? The RSYNC_PROXY variable seems to correctly direct the request to go through the HTTP proxy server on the firewall, but there's no way to specify a username/password combo. The error message reported by rsync is "bad response from proxy - HTTP/1.1 401 Authentication required", which is not

I had rsync2.5.5 running fine ona RedHat Linux 8 system. I downloaded the rsync2.5.6 code and it compiled with no problems. However, operations which worked before are now failing. Here is my rsyncd.conf file uid = nobody gid = nobody # use chroot = no max connections = 4 syslog facility = local5 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd [ftp] path = /var/ftp/pub

Hi Folks -- I've recently had the need to add a piece of functionality to rsync that allows one to run 'rsync --daemon' (rsync in "rsync server" mode) over SSH. My main goal was to be able to use some of the features from rsyncd.conf(5) (notably modules) while still using SSH for authentication and network transport. Background: I wanted to have the capability of setting

Hello, I'm trying to setup Rsync over SSH with openSSH running port 2222 with a remote RSA public key authentification and a restricted shell to avoid the user to browse my server via SSH, only be able to run rsync server. 1) i've built a regular rsync server over TCP/873 Worked fine, check my conf : motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid

Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. Here is my situation: I am using rsync over the internet for several hundred clients to keep them in sync with a master repository of files. The rsync daemon is listening on port 80, because most of the clients are behind firewalls that only allow outbound port 80 (and other common ports). This works fine for most of them

Hi there, I am running rsync-3.0.6-12.el6.x86_64 on a centos 6.6 box. Am trying to get files from a remote server (centos 6.5) to my local machine. It appears to connect fine, but does not transfer any file. this is what I am seeing [youcantoo at testbox home]# rsync -avvvzh -P --stats --delete servername::backupdir/ /home/findmoore opening tcp connection to servername port 873 sending daemon

Hello, I have 2 servers I'm synchronizing using rsync, I have a situation where I : 1. rsync from rnd-dev2 to rnd-dev1 2. change the rsynched file on rnd-dev1 3. rsync from rnd-dev2 to rnd-dev1 again 4.

Greetings, Has anyone successfully compiled rsync 2.5.5 under Mac OS X (not Server), and actually have it work fully? I'm in a position where I'm trying to setup an automated nightly remote backup between and Cobalt Raq4 (running a variant of Redhat Linux) and a Mac running OS X 10.1.5 with the latest development tools installed. As has been pointed out previously on the list, one has

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to firewall and/or configure rsync via a web proxy using RSYNC_PROXY to prevent push mode file transfers yet still allow pull mode? I am aware of Matt McCutchen's helpful distinction between the direction of an rsync connection and the direction of file transfer at at http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-May/015595.html, but I am after

I have the latest rsync running on mandrake official 10. At 2:30 I run rsync --daemon from cron to run an offsite backup for all my customers. At 8:00 I run killall rsync.

Ok, I just setup the log file and this is what I see there: rsync on cdrive/Temp/pix.log from admx (141.214.137.139) transfer interrupted (code 3) at flist.c(812) I had to change [cdrive] from path = "c:\" to path = c: to get rid of '@ERROR: chdir failed' error. I am getting close but still need some help. Thanks in advance. Nishi > -----Original Message----- From:

the --pasword-file= option is only for passing a password to a rsync server, as you have set up with the rsync --daemon process. Your rsyncd.conf file is fine, too. The problem is that you aren't calling your rsync daemon from your commandline. You are trying to connect via rsync to host as axlink and start a 'rsync --sender' process, to transfer data within the ssh process.

Hi, I would like to use the new interface style: rsync --rsh="ssh -l username -i key" <src> username@host::module, however I get "reset by peer" errors. Can someone give some suggestions, please? Do I need to provide a symlink to the /etc/rysncd.conf file from within the user's dir? Note, I have the groups set to same as user and the group exists. Where does
