That comment implies to me that you missed the fact that the syntax that you are trying to use does not access a persistent daemon, but fires up a single-use daemon. Pay especial attention to the part about rsync looking for the conf file in the user's home directory. I'm pretty sure that's your problem, here. Also make sure any log paths defined in the conf file are writable by the user.

error in protocol stream
I am trying to use the syntax: rsync -av -e "ssh -l ssh-user" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module /dest found at http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html but am getting the following: rsync -av -e "ssh -l sshuser" rhost.asu.edu::home uc-sirc1/home/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434) There is an rsync daemon running on rhost.asu.edu and that has a module named home. This is a file server box with only two interactive logins allow, both administrative, so there is no rsync username required to connect to the module. I have public key auth setup with rhost as well -- so ssh works without any password prompting. I have also tried the syntax: rsync -av --rsh=ssh rhost.asu.edu::home uc-sirc1/home/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434) but you see the result is the same. I have tried using the tunnell method described at http://www.samba.org/rsync/firewall.html using syntax like this: ssh -fN -l middle_user -L 8873:target:873 middle except that I don't have a middle system.
