A while back I argued for adding a --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and got some general agreement that it would be a good thing (especially for systems that don't have rsh at all). However, the changes were never integrated into rsync. This patch adds the --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and modifies main.c to improve the blocking-IO setting code. The old code would set blocking_io to

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

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. How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

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

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

> Just curious: what about the rsync+ patch? Thanks for the reminder. I've just committed Jos's rsync+ patch onto the "branch_mbp_rsyncplus_merge" branch. If it works OK and nobody screams I will move it across onto the main tree tomorrow or Wednesday. I see the patch doesn't add documentation about the new options to the man page, so we should fix that in the future.

Hi all, I have just re-joined the list. I have been using Rsync on my Linux servers for a number of years now without fault. I now have the need to Rsync data between two Solaris 2.7 servers.

Hi, I use rsync with ssh. My question is: how can rsync work only with ssh without scp o sftp? I have installed only rsync and ssh on my windows machine. Is the scp or sftp integrated within rsync? Why rsync need a shell? For login? Thanks in advance. Please respond to my email address too: mail@davideonline.it

People of cygwin & rsync, I recently attempted to get cygwin and rsync working to solve a backup/mirroring need in my computer life. Well, as you might guess, I ran into a little but of trouble. Strangely enough, rsync seemed to be regularly hanging when I attempted to do a "get" (sycronize a remote to a local dir). Well, considering I want to automate this, that was not going

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync, with the transfers originating from a Win2K box and going to a Linux box. Both boxes are on my home LAN, so ssh is not required; I thought I would simply use the rsync protocol. I set up xinetd on my Linux box to start a rsync server when needed. My first attempts at a test run failed like so: $ rsync -a /cygdrive/c/installs/palm rsync://192.168.2.3/palm

Dear rsync folks, I'd like to request/suggest that cli options to set TCP send/receive buffers be added to rsync client-side. Summary: I'm aware that a daemon's config-file can set socket options for the server side (e.g. SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF). That is useful. But when trying to get high-throughput rsync over long paths (i.e. large bandwidth*delay product), since

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client".
