Thanks for the answer. I fully appreciate. And in a way I admit what you said, but if you think of the command
rsync -trvuz file.wrk uname@servername::uname-html what it does, then according to my logic rsync -trvuz -e ssh file.wrk uname@servername:uname-html should do exactly the same thing. Another thing would be to say, that it originally is not realizable in this way.... and why not? Otherwise there is reconsideration of my perl procedures not made by me. And same with the directories that should only be known at the server side, not the client side, according to my logic. Perhaps I am wrong again, but currently cannot understand why I should tell all the clients if I want to change something in the server. Using rsync again for this purpose, perhaps. -All right, adding symbolic links to Linux and slashes to the procedures. But it is not that beautiful any more....- I might do that, but currently I am not contented with the nonsymmetric behaviour of rsync....I will start studying port forwarding soon......and use rsync in that way if it helps.... sincerely Kauko ----- Original Message ----- From: "jw schultz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 1:55 AM Subject: Re: rsync -e ssh does not work well > On Thu, Oct 24, 2002 at 09:44:38PM +0300, Kauko Heikkila wrote: > > 1.From SuSe Linux Enterpise server to another one: > > rsync -trvuz -e ssh file.wrk uname@servername:uname-html > > works wierdly since file.wrk changes > > to a file named uname-html in the user's "uname" home. > > It did as you told it. try > rsync -trvuz -e ssh file.wrk uname@servername:uname-html/ > if you want to put file.wrk inside the directory uname-html > otherwise if you provide one file for the source and what > appears to be a file as the destination... > > > > -- > ___________________________________________________________ _____ > J.W.
