Hi Les

I am trying to use rsync

1/ Are both machine to have rsync installed?

2/ machine A#rsync -essh machineB:/ .
I try this command but what wrong I am

rsync -essh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ .
skipping directory /.
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify
some filenames or the --recursive option?

Thank you for your help
