Dear list,
I am able to copy a subtree 'www' with the command ; tar -cf - www | pv| (cd ~ruda/tmp/test && tar -xpf -) but I can't do the same with In one terminal: ;tar -cf - www | pv | nc localhost 7000 In another terminal: ;nc -l 7000 | pv | tar -xpf - [ I actually wanted to do a backup of the subtree with rsync over the network, but that didn't work, spitting sth. like rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(820) [sender=3.1.3] [sender] _exit_cleanup(code=10, file=io.c, line=820): about to call exit(255) I then tried to do the copying with nc, which again did not succeed; but without any message this time, it just got stuck. So I tried to copy just locally, within one machine, using localhost. ] What one sees with the nc command is that the connection keeps existing, but the copying itself stops. Ie., I can ctrl-c at the source end, and the receiving command exits. As I have no idea what can cause this behaviour, I am asking for any help. Thank you! Best regards Rudolf Sykora
