Best to try the basic things first. Try typing in your XP's open command prompt window the following two commands: SET RSYNC_PASSWORD=bart2 rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup_pa You should get a list of the files in the module backup_pa which you've said is pointing to '/mnt/hdc1/backup/' Ensure you *do* have a couple of files in there of course to list. :-) If that doesn't work then the problem is in the Linux rsync side in either your Linux permissions/firewall/rsyncd.conf file. Try a very basic rsyncd.conf file on your Linux machine. For example. [backup_pa] path = /mnt/hdc1/backup/ read only = no list = yes # auth users = bart2 # secrets file = /etc/rsync.scrt This will allow anyone to connect as I've disabled the auth and secret liners. But it will allow you to see if you *can* connect. So type in a XP command prompt: rsync 192.168.0.102::backup_pa Again you should see a list of files. If not, then there is a permission problem on the path to the backup folder or perhaps a firewall problem on your Linux machine. Once you've got a file listing then change your rsyncd.conf line by line. But re-test from your XP machine to see if the behaviour changes unexpectingly. Then you'll know where you've gone wrong. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
