Summary: rsync with local --files-from and remote source
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.6
Platform: Other
OS/Version: AIX
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to copy files from a remote source to the local system, but using
a local list of files. This fails because it seems that rsync is insisting the
file list must also be remote.
# ./rsync -n --files-from=/tmp/files remotehost:/ /tmp/
rsync: on remote machine: --files-from=-: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(994)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434)
The reason I want to do this is so that I can control file distributions from a
central "golden host" (which can ssh or rsh everywhere).
