Thanks. As suggested, on hyundai I edited /etc/network/interfaces as follows: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 , and on acer: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then I rebooted the two pcs, connected with a crosslink cable, and from hyundai I did: $ rsync -vru --delete ssh://192.168.0.2/home/rodolfo/test1 /home/rodolfo/ but got error: ssh: ssh: Temporary failure in name resolution rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(453) [receiver=2.6.9] What did I miss??
