It won't go. only either the source or the destination can be remote. In
your examples, you pretty much duplicate the documentation on the same
topic:

GENERAL
There are six different ways of using rsync. They are:
SunOS 5.7 Last change: 29 May 2001 1
User Commands rsync(1)
o for copying local files. This is invoked when neither
source nor destination path contains a : separator
o for copying from the local machine to a remote machine
using a remote shell program as the transport (such as
rsh or ssh). This is invoked when the destination path
contains a single : separator.
o for copying from a remote machine to the local machine
using a remote shell program. This is invoked when the
source contains a : separator.
o for copying from a remote rsync server to the local
machine. This is invoked when the source path contains
a :: separator or a rsync:// URL.
o for copying from the local machine to a remote rsync
server. This is invoked when the destination path con-
tains a :: separator.
o for listing files on a remote machine. This is done the
same way as rsync transfers except that you leave off
the local destination.
Note that in all cases (other than listing) at least one of
the source and destination paths must be local.

Handy things, those man pages...

Subject: push data instead of pull
Classification:
Hi,
I have a rsync server set up.
Can i push data from the server to another machine
instead of pulling data from that machine.
when i try to do that i get this error.
mkdir tohost:/tmp ; No such file or directory.
But the directory exists. This is the command i
executed.
rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
fromhost::test tohost:/tmp
This works fine if iam logged onto "tohost" and pull
data i.e
rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
fromhost::test /tmp
This works fine if i do it without the server
rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
/disk1/tmp tohost:/tmp
I execute the above command logged on to the
"fromhost"
machine.
let me know if iam doing anything wrong.
thanks
gautam ganesh
