Simple! It is in the man rsync, but cleverly hidden. Just:
rsync <URL>::
and it will list them all back to you with comments.
Example:
[ron@CO3000655-A ron]$ rsync rpmfind.net::
Welcome to the RSync server for the Linux area on rpmfind.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RDF Linux RPM metadata
linux The whole Linux FTP area 70+ Gig, handle with care !
pub Rpmfind.Net own FTP area
web Rpmfind.Net WEB area
[ron@CO3000655-A ron]$
or, say:
[ron@CO3000655-A ron]$ rsync sunsite.uio.no::
Welcome to the SunSITE University of Oslo archive.
