Hello Tim, Sorry for the late response. I was out of town for weekend. Ok, first I tried rsync -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync hostwithrsync:/etc/services I got the following the output: -rw-r--r-- 73490 2003/10/27 09.26.50 services ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lrwxr-xr-x 15 2003/08/19 08:13:58 services +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The file persmissions are different from what you mentioned. With three v's i got the following output: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Or like this, with three "v"s. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/admin/bin>rsync -vvv -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync hostwithrsync:/etc/services opening connection using rsh hostwithrsync /usr/local/bin/rsync --server --sender -vvvr . /etc/services add_exclude(/*/*,exclude) add_exclude(/*/*,exclude) server_sender starting pid=6090 make_file(1,services) expand file_list to 4000 bytes, did move recv_file_name(services) received 1 names -rw-r--r-- 73490 2003/10/27 09.26.50 services recv_file_list done get_local_name count=1 generator starting pid=5968 count=1 delta transmission enabled generate_files phase=1 recv_files(1) starting send_file_list done send_files starting recv_files phase=1 generate_files phase=2 send_files phase=1 send files finished total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 recv_files finished wrote 24 bytes read 331 bytes 236.67 bytes/sec total size is 15 speedup is 0.40 _exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=1045): about to call exit(0) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/admin/bin> So, I suppose the problem is not something related to rsync timeout. I really appreciate for your time and help. Thanks, Naveen.
Hello, I uncommented shell in inetd.conf on the destination system. The command " rsh 66.123.34.123 which rsync" is working fine now . I get the output /usr/local/bin/rsync. But the command: rsync -avvznrbe rsh /sourcepath 66.123.34.123:/destinationpath Still does not work. I get the same error as i used to get before. opening connection using rsh 66.123.34.123 rsync --server -vvbnlogDtprz . /destinationpath 66.123.34.123: operation timed out rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189) --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
