Re: rsync wont work

2004-03-15 Thread Tim Conway 
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.

Good luck,

As you may recall from the last time I answered you, please send the same 
thing, but use 3 vs instead of only one.
rsync -vvvcrlpogtz . [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/rsync/
Since you don't know which transport you are using, we can read the output 
from the above command to find out.
You are not getting to a remote rsync process, either because the 
transport (rsh/remsh or ssh) is not getting there (only a failed 
authentication is possible, from the fact that you're getting a password 
prompt), or because once it's there, it's not finding the remote rsync 
binary(or not allowed to execute it).  Once we know you're getting a shell 
open to [EMAIL PROTECTED], we then do
(rsh || ssh) (depending on what rsync is using in your case) -l rsync 
domain.ltd which rsync
which will probably give a not found.
find where it is on that system, and try your command again with 
--rsync-path=/wherever/you/have/rsync/on/domain.ltd/rsync .

Repeating the question in exactly the same way, yet again, will not give 
the information needed to solve your problem.
