Agreed. However, for Centos 4.4 the compiled version of rsync (2.3.6)
doesn't seem to play nice when using ::/path.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] BackupPC]# rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::docs .
@ERROR: Unknown module 'docs'
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)*
However, if I use rsync from my laptop (OSX 10.4) using the exact same
syntax on the exact same revision of rsync, everything works as expected:
*suspect:~/bpc root# rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::docs .
Password:
receiving file list ...
<all of the rsync text here.. etc etc>*
So, I'm just not clear on what exactly is going on under the hood here that
is such an issue.
Thanks again,
