I'm just starting out with rsync and having the following problems: I'm getting autorization errors when I try to fire up a transfer between two e250's. I would like to basically mirror users between two systems. I've used the basic format that has been stipulated in the doc's still having problems Joe Despres jdespres@csc.com

Hi, I looked in the archives and documentation and didn't notice anything of this. The closest thing I found was -update, but that doesn't do exactly to what I would like. I would like to be able to use rsync to mirror some directories, but to explicitly *not* override any files that already exist on the other side. Sort of like a file system "append", if you will. The cp(1)

I created a user on the machine I am attempting to mirror. I when I run rsync with this user I get the following errors "receiving file list ... link_stat www : No such file or directory done client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option? rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(553)" here is my conf file ## use chroot = no max

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

Is it true that when running rsync via ssh (i.e. rsync -e ssh ...) the rsyncd.conf file is not applicable on the remote since rsync is launched via the ssh exec call once connected rather than from rsyncd as in a direct connect. If so, I am trying to find the best way to restrict rsync -e ssh on the remote machine. Prepending the authorized_keys entry with command='rsync ...' 1024...

That's the way it is. If it's really a one-off change, a huge change in your structure, telnet ssh, rsh, and so forth, work really well for dropping in and deleting stuff (unless you're supplying the master, and other systems out of your control copy from you). Rsync is optimized for taking a filesystem in an unknown state, and making it identical to another filesystem in an unknown

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

When rsync starts I get the following messages in my log file Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync: bind failed on port 873 Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(361) Anybody know what might be causing this? David

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

Has anyone noticed that the --bwlimit doesn't really work? 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
