Hi, I have a rsync server set up. Can i push data from the server to another machine instead of pulling data from that machine. when i try to do that i get this error. mkdir tohost:/tmp ; No such file or directory. But the directory exists. This is the command i executed. rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync fromhost::test tohost:/tmp This works fine if iam logged onto "tohost"

I have MRTG stats happening, and on a 128Kbps circuit, an rsync with the following syntax takes up the whole line. $ rsync -avz -e ssh localfiles.tar.gz user@remote:/path/to/file/arch Any ideas? It's on an OpenBSD box going to a FreeBSD box. Both are 2.4.6. -#0

I just installed rsync on two machines, I think I'm a complete moron, and I need a clue bat. The remote machine's /etc/rsyncd.conf (just for testing): use chroot = no log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [auth] path = /var/www/auth comment = apache authentication files. read only = yes Then for a test, I fired up

I have used rsync on many systems, and never had a problem. I am stumped on what to do with this. I have a box behind a LinkSys router and I can not "push" or "pull" data to or from it from anywhere. When I try, it logs into the remote server, gets the file list and just stops. The remote server shows a process running until I control-c out of it.when I do that, I get: rsync

Sonu: I'm giving the whole history to the rsync list. If the tests i subscribed passed, yet you get that error, it's more in depth than i can go into. You've got 1 hour, let's hope somebody immediately recognizes the problem. I've got some ideas, but no time to explore any more for you. Gentlemen: does anybody see a quick resolution for Sonu? Looks like he's

I'm stuck on a problem with rsync... We've got a chrooted shell with rsync and all the needed libs inside (and not much else). We're using rsync over ssh to send the files into this chrooted session. The rsync binary in the chrooted session is SUID root so that it can create the files with the correct UID/GID. When the following is run, it creates all the files as root.staff, not

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wish to use rsync to synchronize a whole fat32 (MSWindows) partition mounted into a linux system. I run rsync from linux. The problem is rsync synchronizes most of the data even if the data hasn't changed since the original image was made. I used the -avz parameters to do the backup and the same for restoration.

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.

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, 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 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
