My ISP (site5) doesn't seem to be running the RSYNC daemon. Can I use a local rsync daemon to connect to a remote host that is NOT running the daemon? I can't seem to make it work.
I didn't see rsync listed in Services for Unix, but I was able to get the cygwin rsync daemon working. May be a moot point if the ISP doesn't run it or perhaps it's just my syntax. <-- shows my local data $ rsync -a localhost::modulename/coh/* -rwx------ 1776009011 2008/05/10 18:27:30 COHSetup.exe --> <-- gives an error xmitting to remote host $ rsync -a localhost::modulename/coh/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp The source and destination cannot both be remote. rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.9/main.c(1068) [receiver=2.6.9] --> I hate giving up getting rsync via ssh working.... moving on for now.
