The machine is not a machine as such it is a Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 disk drives. The disks are formatted ext3 and windows identifies the unit as a windows NT 4.9 server !!!
All I want to do is copy files from my gentoo box to the usb disk via the network. I have tried mounting the disks using cifs but this produced alot of errors, I feel that a direct connection command would be best. In KDE I can copy files using Konqueror to lan://pc2/ which shows my device.homenet.com. If I then click on the device I get 3 icons NFS SMB HTTP If I click on SMB the location changes to smb://device.homenet.com and I can copy any files I want - even links seem to work I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this Paul > >>Paul Stear wrote: > >>>Hi all, > >>>I am trying to rsync to a remote server with the command: > >>>rsync -Cav --delete --progress /test lkd5f:/test > >>>but I get the following error messages: > >>>ssh: connect to host lkd5f port 22: Connection refused > >>>rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] > >>>rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434) > >>> > >>>2 questions > >>>1.
