I'm sure you are right.
But I use rsync several times a day, and I have never received this message.
It's not ugly, it is inexcusable.
I just tried a command line rsync to a host that wasn't listening to ssh
at all, and got..
ssh: connect to host castillc2-PC port 22: Connection timed out
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]
not exactly the pinnacle of clarity.
