similar to: rsync with ssh

Hi all, I recently acquired a laptop which brings the grand total of computers at three. 1 laptop, 1 server, 1 desktop. Now the problem I want to solve is the following: Because I work on both my laptop and desktop I would like to sync data in my prj/ directory to my server. So when I logon I sync my data from to server to the computer I currently working on and when I logoff I sync the data

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

Hello I run rsync on a server and I backup our office PCs to it using cwRsync on Windows PCs. The command I use to backup these PCs is: rsync -vbalz --stats --backup-dir=/yesterday_backups/ --exclude-from="exclude_list.txt" --files-from="include_list.txt" --rsh="ssh" . username@mydomain.com:/path/to/folder On the server, I have the rsync service started at

Hi, I have installed rsync-2.4.6 version on Linux Redhat 6.2 (Kernel-2.2.14-5.0), after installed I tried to test the rsh and run "rsh remotehost /bin/true > out .dat". But it failed the error message was "Permission denied". I checked the permission all was okay, I forgot the rsh/csh methods and replaced by RSYNC_PROXY. Finally, it failed again. I would like to know that

Hello ! I`m trying to find a way to use lzo compression for the data being transferred by rsync. rsync only supports gzip (or maybe ssh -c, which is also zlib), which gives cpu intensive workload - and this cannot be exchanged by a commandline param like we have with tar (--use-compress-program=....) i like to use lzo because it does much faster compression than gzip. I read the following in

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

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

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

Before I start let me say I'm a relative newbie to rsync so bear with me. I've just installed version 2.5.5 and set up the following files on the server: inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon rsync.conf [www] path = /test/test2 comment = Test services rsync 873/tcp then I run 'rsync --daemon'

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". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

hi all I have composed a script containing : rsync -avz -e ssh root@10.78.0.107:/var/mail/ /var/mail --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets but when I try to execute il it ask me for the password. how to do to avoid this and to consider the password in the 'rsyncd.secrets' thanks in advance.

machine O is outside firewall, machine I is inside (machine names changed to protect the innocent :-) firewall allows ssh connections if inititiated from I to O, but not if the other way. both machines have an /etc/rsyncd.conf of: [rt] path = /tmp/rsync_test comment = Test area O runs rsync daemon, I initiates a rsync cammnad like rsync -rvvv --delete --rsh=ssh O::rt /tmp/rsync_test

Hi folks. Running rsync on Slackware. I'm going over the man pages yet some aspects remain murky. Hopefully someone can set me straight. 1. The --rsh option, The man page explains that you can invoke a single-transfer daemon if you want some features that a daemon provides: $ rsync -av --rsh=ssh host::module /dest The it says that you need to slap on an ssh user if the daemon/module

And, I've found more. It turns out that even though the exclude directive is ignored for inbound data in rsyncd.conf, it is NOT ignored for the --delete option. I've seen this behavior occur when I've deleted a file from the sending side (client) that is inside a tree that's matched by the server-side (rsyncd) exclude directive. The deletion is ignored, as the documenation

Hi I updated my rsync to 2.5.6. Since then, any modules actions don't work anymore. rsync -ravvvn --stats --progress rollis.ch::mymodule ends up in opening tcp connection to rollis.ch port 873 receiving file list ... rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (28 bytes read so far) _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=165): entered rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at

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, When I have my rsync daemon running, I get all log messages in a custom format in the file /var/log/rsyncd.log. This is very convenient as I can cron a script to grep it and mail me a summary of activity every day and then create a fresh file. I have now switched to using rsync over ssh, so I stopped the rsync daemon, and every user has an authorised ssh key and a *custom* rsyncd.conf (with

Hi, I would like to use the new interface style: rsync --rsh="ssh -l username -i key" <src> username@host::module, however I get "reset by peer" errors. Can someone give some suggestions, please? Do I need to provide a symlink to the /etc/rysncd.conf file from within the user's dir? Note, I have the groups set to same as user and the group exists. Where does

People, This doesn't seem possible - would it be possible to hack a version of rsync to do it? As an exercise, I want to create a VM image (or at least backup of all the files with rsync) from a SCSI drive in an old Red Hat (NOT Enterprise) v5.2 Linux 486 machine (circa 1999 that does have rsync on it but it has protocol problems talking my server). The 486 has: - an ISA Adaptec 1542
