This makes me wonder if there was some kind of a write problem of the temp file into the destination directory. Keep in mind that scp writes directly over the destination file, while rsync by default first writes a temporary file in the same dir and then renames it. Using the -T option causes the temp file to go into a different dir. Why you didn't get a better error message is probably the most pertinent question. It might be that the remote rsync crashed. In such a case you have to take extra steps to try to figure out why the remote process is dying (like accessing the remote core file, if one exists). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
