As Patrick O'Callaghan has pointed out, the target site must be
running an rsync daemon for you to connect with your rsync client.
Fortunately this is usually rather simple to determine:
$ rsyncrsync://ftp.target.site <ftp://ftp.target.site>
--or--
$ rsyncrsync://rsync.target.site <ftp://ftp.target.site>
The actual DNS name of the rsync site may take some guessing, and you
can always use an absolute IP address if you now it. If there's an
rsync daemon running on that site, it should respond with the contents
of the /etc/rsyncd.conf file following the initialization section.
Those contents will guide you to wherever the folder(s)/file(s) may be
that you want to fetch. For example, here locally I can type:
$ rsync rsync://lion
pub entire 1TB array
centos Centos 5.4 mirror
cygwin Cygwin mirror
f12 Fedora 12 General Release
f12_updates Fedora 12 Updates
rawhide Fedora Rawhide / Development
To create or update a local mirror of the F12 Updates repository on my
rsync server "lion" I just type:
$ rsync -acvxzHP --delete rsync://lion/pub/f12_updates/
/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/
Hope this helps.
If all the remote site gives you is ftp, you could use either a GUI-
based FTP client locally (such as kasablanca [KDE] or gftp [GTK])
or a command-line batch FTP client (such as ncftp/ncftpput/ncftpget).
rsync would be nice, but in a pinch.........

Patrick, "Doc", Rick,
Thanks for your suggestions....
As Patrick said, it doesn't work - I'd rather hoped there might be a
sort of "one sided rsync" that would read the destination, do a diff on
it & upload what was needed. Ho hum.
So I tried the various rsync suggestions & got a resounding silence as
response...
Installed Kasablanca & couldn't get it to connect... BUT, it looked so
much list Krusader (which I'd been using to do manual updates) & found
it actually has a "directory sync" in one of its menus & this has done
exactly what I hoped!
Thanks again to you all
Dave
