Hi all, we are just beginning to dive into rsync. I have limited experience with just playing around with the examples and reading all the docs that I can. I just read an interesting post from a developer that mentions cwrsync is a minimalistic rsync and thus things like permissions are not transfered, the post was from 2004. Here are my questions Windows (cw)Rsync Client --> Linux Rsync

Yes this is another connection reset issue but all I am asking is some pointers on how I can possibly determine what and why this is happening. Its easy to say its a network issue but the bosses and clients want to know how to fix this said "network issue." I have read the rsync issues list. Some of what is suggested we might try HOWEVER we cannot duplicate the errors that occur and

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on having windows clients synchronize data to it. Rsync running as a daemon works fine. I can successfully copy data up to the server and view it via scp. Also- I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well. HOWEVER- I cannot connect "passwordless" with SSH and then connect to the rsync daemon. The following demonstartes what I

Hi I running a rsync server using version 2.6.3pre1 in a Solaris 10 server. When I try to use ssh to encrypt my data, the rsync client fails with this message: rsync -avz -e ssh winbox.exe zone43@zone43.gridzones.com::backups Password: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434) My config

from a security perspective this is bad. think of a backup provider who wants to make rsyncd modules available to the end users so they can push backups to the server. do you think that such server is secure if all users are allowed to open up an ssh shell to secure their rsync transfer ? ok, you can restrict the ssh connection, but you open up a hole and you need to think twice to make it secure

Hi list, After reading rsync docu and doing online search, I still failed to find a simple solution for following problem: The goal is to sync two directories using rsync without running the rsync daemon on one of the two hosts. The standard shell sync does not work because of the network topology: Ssh connect to SRC-Host ^ Base host (with ssh keys) v Ssh connect to bridge

rsync in daemon mode is very powerful, yet it comes with one big disadvantage: data is sent in plain. The workarounds are not really satisfying: - use VPN - one needs to set up an extra service, not always possible - use stunnel - as above - use SSH - is not as powerful as in daemon mode (i.e. read only access, chroot, easy way of adding/modifying users and modules etc.) Why was encrypted

Hi all. I'm getting the following error when using rsync: nice -n 20 rsync -e "ssh -p30000" --recursive --verbose --verbose --checksum --times --modify-window 2 --port=31000 --dry-run /cygdrive/f/bkp/Doc/Builds/Buildsheets/ MYUSERNAME@MY.SERV.ER.IP:TESTDIR opening connection using ssh -p30000 -l MYUSERNAME MY.SERV.ER.IP rsync --server -vvntrc --modify-window=2 .

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...

Hello everybody. I got a strange problem, which I hope to solve with your help. I'm doing "remote backups" using rsync in an ssh tunnel. In the last setup I realized, something is driving me crazy and I can't find *what* the problem is. I managed to successfully login via ssh in a "passwordless" way (by means of RSA-keys). After this step is done and I'm logged

Hi all: I tried to start a rsync daemon under my user name (not an administrator) on debian linux box(linux kernel 2.4.27), and failed. The command I used is > rsync -v -v --daemon --config=rsyncd.conf This command returns without any error although the daemon does not get started. The rsyncd.conf I used is as follows. Do I miss anything in the configuration file? Any help is appreciated.

Dear, I'm trying to put up a scripts to synchronize my computers (HOST_A and HOST_C). I can connect both via HOST_B to avoid the firewall. I am trying to work with the rsync daemon to avoid hanging. I tried to figure out the mailinglist + FAQ, how to do it, but it seems I misunderstand something, since all your previous help did not work for me. I get the following error when executing

Hello. I running rsync in daemon mode (rsync --daemon) Everything seems to work well until I try to protect item with password. here is my /etc/rsyncd.conf : use chroot = yes max connections = 10 syslog facility = local5 [ftp] path = /var/ftp comment = ftp secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets auth users = gate1 here is my /etc/rsyncd.secrets gate1:abcdefg Here

Gang, I've read the manual(s), surfed google, spent about 5 hours on this, to no avail.... I'm trying to run rsync in server mode and it appears to start normally, but it refuses all connections (refuses connection when I tried telnetting in on localhost 873!). I've turned off all firewalls on this server (do I dare tell you guys that?...), which is fine: it is on a local network. I

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

Hey All, After RTM, web page and searching the archives, I felt it worth a shot at mailing the list with my query. I am looking at using rsync and various third party GUI's (rsyncX, nasbackup) to backup our departmental desktops to our nice new multi-terabyte fileserver. When we run rsync in daemon mode, it of course runs as nobody:nogroup and I am aware of being able to set that to any

We were trying to introduce a better client side log format so that we could get timestamps and module names etc. In the rsync documentation it looks like you can use --log-format for the client ... there is even a sentence saying that this format would not interfere with the rsybc daemons format. We are using cwrsync and when we try and add --log-format="%o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l" The

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
