Re: rsync does not copy hidden directories

2001-09-13 Thread Francis Stevens
Michelene, We use rsync (2.4.6) a lot and it copies dot-directories for us. I suspect you've got a problem with the command line you're using, the following is an example of what we use:- rsync -ae "ssh -C -x" --delete machine_a:/home/ /backups/machine_a/home/ all the usual dot-directories i

Hi, I have managed to test this same transfer reliably with the Linux boxes and open-ssh, but I am in trouble with the OSF1 4.0 (Digital Unix) being the server sending files from a single directory to the HP/UX 11 - being the client The 'sshd2' (and ssh2) in both ends is installed as ro

rsync transfers of data from Windows to Unix

2001-09-13 Thread Phil Howard
Are there any clients and/or servers for Windows (clients only for Win98/ME) which can use the rsync protocol, or especially rsync over SSL (e.g. like stunnel, not ssh), which would allow setting up some well controlled and secure bulk file exchanging between Windows an Unix? SMB is not going to

rsync and SSL

2001-09-13 Thread Phil Howard
I'm finding even less on rsync and SSL. I would have imagined someone would have done something with this already, but apparently not. So I guess I need to ask and see for sure: has anyone worked on issues of using rsync via SSL, such as with stunnel? I want to have encrypted access, either ano

File merging

2001-09-13 Thread Andy Goth
Can rsync be made to merge files? For instance, could I synchronize mboxes between multiple computers, even though they're all changing? I have _serious_ doubts, because I think it would take a diff3, but a friend mentioned it, so I had to ask. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://n
