Re: Newbie to rsync
Look again. it's not finding rsync on machine2. He's doing remote-to-remote, though he's on machine2 already. I've already replied to him in detail, concerning paths and rsync syntax/behaviour. If he fixes the path on machine2 or gives the --rsync-path= directive, then, he'll rsync to a local directory named "machine3:", which probably doesn't exist, and certainly isn't what he wants.

Looks like it's not finding rsync on machine3. phma
opendir problem
I am trying to run rsync 2.4.6 on Solaris 8 with the following command: rsync -avr -e /usr/local/bin/ssh --rsync-path=/opt/local/rsync remote:var/mail /tmp I am expecting to have all files in server remote/var/mail copied to local server /temp/var/mail I get a message opendir(mail): Too many open files (continuous scroll on the screen) If I use the same command and explicitly name a file like: remote:var/mail/filename /tmp everything works just fine, but I have to explicitly name all files to transfer, like the -r option does not work I also tried: remote:var/mail/ /tmp This produces a readlink : No such file or directory Any help is greatly appreciated.

Setting up an rsync server
I am trying to set up an rsync server on windows 2000 and red hat linux 7.1, but unsuccesfully. I haven't been able to find detailed information in the man pages about this issue, which makes it quite hard to figure out. So far I have set up an ftp server and a http server, which I guess would be required for rsync to transfer the files through. Secondly I have created the required files: rsyncd.conf, rsyncd.motd, rsyncd.secrets, rsyncd.log, rsync.lock and rsyncd.pid. Rsyncd.conf looks like this: motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motdlog file = /var/log/rsyncd.logpid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pidlock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [ftp] path = / comment = D drive uid = nobody gid = nobody read only = no list = yes auth users = anonymous When running rsync --daemon in one shell and rsync my-global-ip-address:: in another I receive the welcome message and the ftp module to which I should be able to log into. But when issuing this command rsync my-global-ip-address::ftp/* all I get is a hung shell. What is the solutuion to this problem? Could it be that some files are missing, or that some settings have not been set yet? This is in windows 2000. In linux I am not even able to receive the welcome message. I guess it is because the rsync daemon isn't running at all, even though I have tried to start it using rsync --daemon and through inetd. Any help is welcome. Sincerely Kasper
