Hi, Not sure when this stopped working, because I'm sure it used to. This is the cygwin build of rsync, with the standard cygwin rsh (which is a fairly old GNU inetutils 1.3.2). ~=> rsync --rsh=rsh -vv bibble: opening connection using rsh bibble rsync --server --sender -vvr . rsh: unknown option -- server Try `rsh --help' for more information. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

Hi, I'm using rsync version 2.5.5 on OpenBSD 3.3 to backup the users /home directory over the Internet. It's started by a cron job every night. For logging I've add the -vv parameter and redirect the output to a logfile. Like this: rsync -vv --stats --archive --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home/backupdir --compress --rsh 'ssh -2 -i keyfile.key' /home

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

I am trying to execute rsync manually at a "remote" server to test out --read-batch execution. I created the batch files on another server and then rcp'ed them to the "remote" server. I had some issues of not having the correct working directory on the remote system when I did an rsh "remote" rsync --read-batch ...... so I opened a telnet session on the remote

How would an RSYNC command look to copy all directories from one machine to another. I have tried the following and only get a few directories: RSYNC --rsh=ssh -rpog / IPADDRESS:/Directory RSYNC --rsh=ssh -rpog */ IPADDRESS:/Directory RSYNC --rsh=ssh -rpog /* IPADDRESS:/Directory -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RSYNC-all-Directories-tp15458934p15458934.html Sent from the

Hi. I'm trying to accomplish the following ; 1) First, I did a rsync for a file, like this /usr/bin/rsync -lptgoD --delete --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -R --delete-excluded -vv root@127.0.0.1:/usr/local/src/* /tmp/localhost/daily.0 If I did a ls -la to the destination dir (/tmp/localhost/daily.0/usr/local/src/README) I take ls -la /tmp/localhost/daily.0/usr/local/src/ total 60 drwxrwsr-x 2 root

Dear sir, Having read all the descriptions of how easy it was to use rsync, I tried it for the replication of two servers. Testing rsync 10.0.1.4:/tmp/repl/ /tmp/repl I got the following error message (after a period which seemed to be a time-out): 10.0.1.4: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream

Hi, First post to the list, so please feel free to set me straight if I'm not following some protocol or other :o) We need to use rsync to send files to a client, being a Windows user, we decided to try both the cwrsync implementation and also a straight cygwin/rsync install. I'm experiencing the following errors: using cygwin implementation: $ sh clientupload.sh

Sir, How to run the rsync server in the remote machine. I want to mirror the set of directories from one machine to another machine which are in the network. I used the following command : /usr/sbin/rsync -vv --delete --recursive --times --perms --update source directory destinationmachine:destination directory. I got the error: Permission denied.

Is there a posibilty to change all Unix file permissions from the NT-Explorer (not only arciv,hidden,sysem mappig). A solution could bee to extend the context menu with to entries show security and set secutriy (inf - files could do that for example winzip-installation does the sama). This extensions can call for example a rsh programm which will do that job. Does anybody has a solution or ideas

I have a rsync daemon running on a solaris 7 server. I have installed the latest cygwin from http://cygwin.com and the associated rsync binary on a nt 4.0 workstation. On the nt machine, I am not running the rsync in daemon mode. Working from the bash shell of cygwin, I was able to rsync to the solaris server. However, when trying to rsync from solaris to the nt box, I get a "connection

Greetings. I wrote a script that make remote backups with rsync. I have 2 main problems with it 1) I want that the destination directory (on the repository machine) recreate the backed up file path and it permission (I use -R here ) 2) Is there a way to "follow" all the links using -R and -a parameters..?? Currently I am using something like this. rsync -al --delete

Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Hi: We're running Samba on a Unix machine which is a member of the NT domain. This has several interesting ramifications involving UIDs and passwords (I've listed those below). But this is my basic question: Does anyone have any scripts they use across UNIX and NT to create user accounts? I have access to rsh and adduser.pl with the NT Resource Kit, so presumably I could write

Ah... there's your answer. ssh is working fine, as you say, but you're invoking rsync without telling it to user ssh, so it's using rsh. If you've got this, you don't need rsyncd.conf. The syntax you're using tells rsync to use an external transport. rsync -e ssh file rmt_host:/tmp Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880

I am recieving a connection unexpectedly closed error while trying to sync a directory on two machines. Rsync is in my path on both machines.

Hello. I'm trying something from the rsync man page and it is failing. From http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM It is sometimes useful to be able to set up file transfers using rsync server capabilities on the remote machine, while still

I compiled rsync-2.5.5 on HPUX 11.11, using the +DA2.0W and +O3 options. invoking a simple rsync to transfer a file works (I ran a diff on the file, no changes) e.g: sdx1 214: ./rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -x' --rsync-path=/usr/local/src/rsync-2.5.5/rsync /scratch/chuck/tmp.test sdx2:/scratch/chuck However, adding the -a option yields an unexplained error: (In all of the following cases
