There we are. Thanks. OK, you're using ssh, and you can ssh in, so we can assume you're getting in. Now, "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then "which rsync" is different from "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] which rsync". ssh without a command starts a login shell, and you get your full environment. With a command, you get a very stripped-down environment, which is unlikely to have "/usr/local/bin" in the path. I can state with near unity certainty that rsync -vvvcrlpogtz --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /tmp/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp will work. Alternately, you could modify your system initialization scripts to get /usr/local/bin in your basic path, or symlink /usr/local/bin/rsync into /bin or /usr/bin. I generally leave the system unmodified, and change my cmdline, but if you're setting up something for newbies to do their own commandlines, you'll probably end up making it idiot-proof.
Oh, and you didn't get the email directly because your system wanted me to authenticate myself. I declined to make the effort. I figured you could just read the copy from the list.
