Hi, I got the following report from a Debian user, about --files-from transferring the contents of a dir (i.e. including the files in it) specified in the input, even thugh the files aren't listed in the input. This happens only when the dir name ends with a slash. I asked him to cook up a script to reproduce this (as it wasn't quite clear to me at first what happened exactly). Any

I've just subscribed, but a search of the archive doesn't indicate this has been handled before... Is there a way to get rsync to not create a new file while transferring and then rename it, but to instead update the existing file in place, i.e. simply write those blocks that have been updated and leave the rest alone? That would be ideal for what I wanted rsync for, namely updating

OK, I packaged up the current CVS as our first preview release for 2.6.0. You can grab it here: http://samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz The MD5 checksum is: 70e9dea967f083c231b7821ef35aef1b rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz There is not currently a .sig file for the package, but I'm looking into that next. Please test this and let me know if we have any remaining issues

Readers, I have tried the following command: rsync -t *.txt ssh user at remote.machine: and receive the following error: rsync: link_stat "local/machinepath/ssh" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1031) [sender=3.0.2] My understanding of the manual is that the text files on my local machine should have been

Hi, Could any one please tell me if there is any way to remove 11 letters long cryptic output from -ii option.

I've run across a situation where I have a directory of .gz files. I do want to rsync this directory. I've tried without the --compress (because they are already compressed) but the files never get rsynced. Interactively, I get the following error: :rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) In the /etc/rsyncd.log, for each of the files, I get:

I've setup up a single-use key on a remote host to run rsync in server mode. I've also setup .ssh/config locally with an IdentityFile to select the single-use ssh key. This works on my Debian sid machine: rsync --rsh="ssh remove_host" :: But on another machine that command (and others tried below) do not access .ssh/config. The machine is running these: $ ssh -v

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync to allow me to backup a number of Windows machine to a Windows XP Home server using Nasbackup. I can get rsync working fine but have been struggling for days to get user authentication working. /var/log/rsyncd.log 2005/09/27 13:46:37 [1352] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port 873 2005/09/27 13:47:50 [4088] auth failed on module modulename from

I'm using rsync to backup multiple directories, i.e. rsync -azq --delete --relative /dog /cat /fish user@rsync-server::modulename Everything works fine, except if I remove a directory from the list of those being backed up, it isn't deleted on the other side. For example: rsync -azq --delete --relative /dog /cat /fish user@rsync-server::modulename /dog /cat /fish are all backed up to

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 gurus! First time post: Scenario want to talk to daemon locked behind a firewall using encrypted transfer of files. Have daemon setup on port 10001. Do not have NC, do not have root access.

Hi, Been using rsync for many years but I'm stuck with this problem. I'ts a simplistic backup using rsync from a Windows 2k3 machine to a Linux box out on the 'net, using pre-shared ssh keys. In this case I'm saving, files belonging to various users, using the administrator account on the windows machine and the destination is a normal user account and its home file area.

I cannot figure out where I am going wrong with my excluded files syntax! rsync backups up those folders I'm trying to exclude. rsync -av --exclude-from=/etc/rsync_excluded.conf --delete root@polaris::polhome /pol_home_bkup cat /etc/rsync_excluded.conf - /home/agokhale - /home/anand - /home/asalazar etc. These are all top level folders with the same names. On the rsync server

Is there a way to set rsync excludes by filesize? I already do excludes by a wild card on the name but I needed something a bit more sophisticated this time around. I have files with the extension .nc (netcdf files) which tend to be huge before the users post-process them. I want all files with a .nc extension excluded if they are, say, 100+ MB in size. Is there a way to do this via rsync?

I would like to request that rsync -n to an rsync server target that is read only be supported rather than generating the following error, ERROR: module is read only The motivation is to allow the generation of a list of files against an rsync target that will be used by another application. Since dry-run mode does not require write access it would be convenient if the “module is read only” error

A thousand greetings, I'm trying to rsync a directory from a server to my local machine that has a symbolic link to a directory I don't want to download. I have an "exclude" option to exclude the symlink which works fine. However, if I add a --copy-links option to the command, it appears to override my "exclude" directive and the contents of the symlinked directory
