I have installed 2.) installed a tunnel via ssh from the remote machine to my pc ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -N -R pcbn0205.dpcom.de:9999:localhost:873 3.) I could run rsync from the remote machine to make bakups The command to run the backup and the error messages is /usr/local/bin/rsync -v -v -avz rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9999/home/bin ~/temp/rsync opening tcp connection to localhost port 9999 opening connection using --server --sender -vvvlogDtprz . home/bin @ERROR: access denied to home from localhost (127.0.0.1) rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1171) _exit_cleanup(code=5, file=main.c, line=1171): about to call exit(5) When I start the following rsync command on my local pc everything is ok /bin/rsync -v -avz rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:873/home/bin/ahk /cygdrive/c/Temp/rsyncTEST/bin/ahk On the remote machine and on my pc I have rsync version 2.6.6 protocol version 29.
