I am getting this error on a Win98SE pc, but not on WinNT4 or Linux Redhat 7.1 or 7.2. Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket The command I used was rsync -e ssh gas.exe 10.105.50.180:src/ It works like I said on NT4 and from my Linux pc. I have cygwin installed on the win98 and NT. Rsync is version 2.4.6 Is it just because Win9x SU**s? Also where can I get a list of

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

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Some paths on the remote server may require authentication. If so then you will receive a password prompt when you con- nect.

Tarun: I don't use rsync to windows - just too much trouble and no need, but, I think the problem is the embedded colon in the path.

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

hello, I'm new with rsync (shame on me ignoring this great tool for many years!) For the following question I could not get an answer from the docs: Is it possible to run rsync in a force mode like `cp -f? for overwriting files without write permission? I need this for a local rsync. What I'm actually doing is to run `find . -type f -perm u-w -exec chmod u+w {} \;? on the destination

Hi, I got stuck within some weird prob concerning my 2-node linux cluster and the synchronisation tool at hand (rsync-2.5.1pre1). I have to copy a structure of 70 directories where the data of these directories are hardlinked to the data of the 1st directory. Within this "orig data" directory, I have about 30.000 files, so the amount of files to sync is approx. 2.100.000. 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 * I'm using rsync to mirror software from one Sun Workstation (mecc27) to the other (mecc29). (solaris 5.7) worked perfect... 'til 1 week ago !! Everybody claims nothing has been changed in the configs of the machines (couldn't find anything, though), but rsync is doing nothing at all. just after being called it exits without any error message, warning, whatever.. here the log

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

I'm interested in the *best* way to set particular permissions on the machine I am rsync'ing content to. These are the specifics of our setup: 1 client pushes to remote 2 remote machine = AIX running rsync daemon as chroot 3 client machine = NT running CYGWIN 4 directory tree on client has many files/directories with many differnt permissions/owners etc. 5 We wish ALL the

Hi, I have a rsync server set up.

Hi folks, I've discovered a local stack overflow bug in rsync 2.5.7. Problem is in open_socket_out function (socket.c). ... char portbuf[10]; char *h; int proxied = 0; char buffer[1024]; char *cp; ... h = getenv("RSYNC_PROXY"); proxied = (h != NULL) && (*h != '\0'); ... if (proxied) {

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've searched long and hard for some docs on configuring a web proxy for rsync. This is probably in part an apache config question so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. What I would like to do is provide anonymous rsync access to a handful of IPs via a web proxy so I don't have to punch additional holes in my firewall. In other words, I'd like to use rsync over
