Firstly - my apologies for the messed up titles of my replies. I hadn't been able to get posts accepted on the list from GMail (probably because I was using a different 'from' address than my gmail address). Anyway I have to use the pieces of sh** Outlook and Exchange at work, and I hadn't noticed all the [SPAM] tags it had added...
I am trying to get an rsync server running on my Gentoo server box in
I've sorted the problem I was having. It was of course me mis-understanding how rsync works. I was not after simply connecting to my server using rsync via ssh, but setting it up as an rsync server... It turns out that I had the server set up correctly (and it seems it is simple to restrict access to our main PC's IP address so that unwanted intruders - such as the kids on their PC ;-) - are kept out. It seems I was using the wrong client-dside command:
rsync -avz test.xml 192.168.0.100:rsync
should have been rsync -avz test.xml 192.168.0.100::rsync i.e. with two colons! Cheers, -- Ant... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
