Hi, I'm using rsync for a couple of things but I am at a point where I could not find a solution for my problem. this is what I want to do: rsync only the files i_* from a directory from machine A to machine Bi and delete them from machine B if they on longer exist on machine A. so I use the command: rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete i_* user@host:/dir/ When using this command the files

Hello, I have set up an anonymous rsync server that seems to work as expected. However when I try to access the server from several other unix boxes using rsync with a command like this; rsync netlib3.cs.utk.edu::netlib I get the motd and then a line that states client: nothing to do Now I would expect this to give me a directory listing. I do get the directory listing as expected when

Hey all, Like a lot of folks, I use rsync to pull content out to production web servers. Tastes great, less filling. Here's what I'd like to be able to do: Sometimes a web tree is not ready to sync, for whatever reason. I have many modules available, so stopping ryncd is not an option. I'd like to be able to tell rsync in daemon mode "this particular module is not available at

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

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.

I'm trying to synchronize a particularly troublesome directory structure on a SunOS box to a PC. I really want all symbolic links resolved to real files on the PC when everything is done. I can't seem to find any combination of parameters that will accomplish this. It boils down to two problems. 1. It seems like that even if I exclude a symbolic link that is a directory it is not

Is there a way to make the rsync client suppress the motd without suppressing other messages when connecting to an rsync server? What I want is to run rsync from cron and have it produce output only when any files have been downloaded or deleted and whenever errors have happened. Otherwise, I want it to be quiet. This doesn't seem to be possible with rsync as of version 2.5.7. When I use the

Hi there, is it possible to use regular expressions in the exclude-paramter of rsync ? For example: rsync --exclude "/path/to/*/[Ff][Oo][Ll][Dd][Ee][Rr]" I've tried it, but it will take no effect. -- SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN Jens

Hi Folks, I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6).

I am planning on rsyncing between 3 different computers that all have the same username, but different passwords. Is there a way to specify which user from which host belongs to which password? Or do I have to use different users between the 3 boxes? Thanks for the help, Mike

Estimated gurus.

I have Rsync working ok, backing up some server directories onto another server each evening. If I do an rsync back up of a directory - called "test", for example - and in the "test" directory there is a file called "testfile", it gets backed up OK. However, if that file, "testfile" gets deleted from the original "test" directory, when I run

Hi, I got the following error synchronising between to servers : 2002/07/04 20:58:39 [68722] transfer interrupted (code 12) at token.c(255) Between other servers rsync is OK without any error. Is it a know bug ? I can't easily upgrade rsync because it's running on a server running 24h/24h 7/7. So before upgrading I need elements to explain the problem which occurs. Thank's for your

Hi, we are using rsync to mirror large trees (>> 50 GB, >> 2 mio files) offsite (rsync -e ssh with forced ssh command on the remote side). The main problem occuring is memory usage (especially as the remote system has no swap space configured for security reasons): It seems that the rsync processes' RSS on both sides increases with the number of files in the tree. Rsyncing the

Hi, I am trying to transfer some files to a remote rsync server. I have to preserve the ownership of these files in the remote server for future possibility of copying them back. The command I am using is: rsync -Cav /var/log/mp3log server2::var/log/mp3log I have tried to add -o and -g options but still can't reach my purpose. I also remember to add a same user name to the remote rsync

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
