It should just be: rsync some.site.org:: Note the double ":" at the end. For instance running it against www.debian.org will give you this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/cop2220$ rsync www.debian.org:: web.debian.org Debian Web Site The actual module is the first part. The second part is a description. Then you just run your script using --dry-run and inspect the output. I like to redirect it to a file, then figure out what I want and what I don't want. I'm not sure if I totally understand the module thing myself. I'm considering setting up an rsync server on my lan and experimenting. That's probably the best way to learn anyway (man rsyncd.conf).
