Mermgfurt ! I have some problem with syncing two machines which are connected over a Gigabit-connection. I'm trying to use rsync with ssh because of the authorisation mechanisms (keys). It starts quite ok with 18 MB/s (this small speed may have something to do with our internal net) and falls down to 400 KB/s (!!!). This happens over a long period because those files I want to copy are very

I am using rsync between to Solaris machines. One has rsync under the /usr/local/bin/rsync location and the other under /opt/rsync.

If not, does this mean that in order to perform the sync between two systems that I need to have a 1:1 relationship

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.
