This is a little easier if sudo also works, due to the way that su demands that the whole command be quoted. So, the sudo way: rsync -ave 'ssh -p 65300' --rsync-path='sudo rsync' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/src/ /dest/ For the su way to work, you need a shell script named "su-rsync": #!/bin/sh su - -c "rsync $*" Put that on the path somewhere on serverB and run it like this: rsync -ave 'ssh -p 65300' --rsync-path=su-rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/src/ /dest/ Note that you can simplify some of those options by putting the port and user details into your ~/.ssh/config file: Host serverB User user Port 65300 Protocol 2 Then the rsync command gets even easier: rsync -av --rsync-path=su-rsync serverB:/src/ /dest/ ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
