My setup rsync --version 2.5.5 on client and server client is behind firewall/nat
on client I run: rsync -av --progress 110mb_file.mov [EMAIL PROTECTED]::dir1 on server: rsync --daemon it asks for password, starts to transfer the file, and at about 80% gives me this error message: <<==cut==>> Password: building file list ... 1 file to consider 110mb_file.mov rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) <<==cut==>> after starting the transfer I monitored it with tcpdump on the server ... where right about at 87% complete (--progress) i end up with following tcpdump lines on the server, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like at some point (87% through) my server started advertising TCP window of zero size (win 0), and client timesout or something and gave the error: <<==cut==>> 17:29:28.265592 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.266160 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102467925:102469373(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904015 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.266212 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.266770 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102469373:102470821(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904015 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.266821 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.268887 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102470821:102472269(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904017 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.268939 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.269484 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102472269:102473717(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904017 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.269536 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.270718 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102473717:102475165(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904019 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.270769 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.271309 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102475165:102476613(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904019 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.271362 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.272825 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: P 102476613:102478061(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904020 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.272877 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.273900 192.168.1.100.36310 > box.example.com.rsync: . 102478061:102479509(1448) ack 94 win 5840 <nop,nop,timestamp 1985904020 26099400> (DF) 17:29:28.273952 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.274998 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.275592 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.276221 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.276828 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.277437 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) 17:29:28.278042 box.example.com.rsync > 192.168.1.100.36310: R 1665045802:1665045802(0) win 0 (DF) <<==cut==>> so it does transfer about 90Mb before giving me this error. I also installed rsync-2.5.6 on both client and server - still same problem. rpms i used: rsync-2.5.5-1.i386.rpm and rsync-2.5.6-4.i386.rpm uname -a on client: Linux 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 12:13:11 EDT 2002 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux uname -a on server: Linux 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux RAM on client 512MB, server 128MB top on sever during transfer never showed more than 0.7 %MEM utilization for rsync, %CPU 5-8% df shows plenty of space left and permissions are full rwx for that user and group. I tested file transfer several times, at all times transfer would stop at the same 87% I should mention that rsync worked with smaller files size under 10 mb. I did not test other sizes. Could anyone point me in the right direction here, I'm way over my head here. please help!
