Try this commandline: ssh vortac which rsync
You'll get "no rsync in /bin /usr/bin", probably. Link it into something in the minimal path, or use "--rsync-path=" to specify where to invoke it from.

Michael Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/05/2002 10:23 PM To: RSync list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Tim Conway/LMT/SC/PHILIPS) Subject: Error on Solaris 9 (2.5.5) Classification: I'm running into some errors I can't figure out. Situation: I have a Sparc IPX (2.6 Solaris), a Mac OS X box and an Ultra Sparc 1 running Solaris 9. I am trying to rsync a web site between the IPX and Ultra 1. All boxes are running 2.5.5 rsync built from source. Problem: Can't get a a sync between the IPX -> Ultra. IPX = kashmir Ultra = vortac Mac = archer Assumptions: a). directories are owned by me or are writeable by my group. b). SSH must be used as Ultra is not behind a firewall and RSHELL (and telnet) is disabled in /etc/inetd.conf. c). no rysnc is running as daemon. d). kashmir and archer are on the same local segment behind a firewall which has all outbound ports open. Examples: This is the error I get. I get this error for *any* rsync operation I try from kashmir to vortac: kashmir:~> rsync -avz -e ssh /web/aviate/53sf vortac:/usr1 mikec@vortac's password: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) kashmir:~> ssh vortac ls -ld /usr1 mikec@vortac's password: drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 512 Aug 23 15:23 /usr1 kashmir:~> ping vortac vortac.aviate.org is alive So it doesn't work from kashmir->vortac, which is the direction I want to go. It does, however, work in the other dir: vortac:~> rsync -avz -e ssh public_html aviate.org:/export/home/mikec/temp/tmp [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: building file list ... done public_html/ public_html/index.html wrote 383 bytes read 36 bytes 25.39 bytes/sec total size is 335 speedup is 0.80 I thought at first it was kashmir that was the problem, but I am able to initiate a sync from kashmir to my Mac: kashmir:~> rsync -avz -e ssh myca archer:/Users/mikec/tmp mikec@archer's password: building file list ... done myca/ myca/CA.pl myca/demoCA/ [...] myca/mail.aviate.org.pem myca/newreq.pem wrote 7454 bytes read 148 bytes 50.51 bytes/sec total size is 11967 speedup is 1.57 kashmir:~> Archer -> Kashmir also works fine: [archer:~/Pictures] mikec% rsync -avz -e ssh ~/Pictures kashmir:/export/home/mikec/temp/tmp rsync: open connection using ssh kashmir rsync --server -vlogDtprz . /export/home/mikec/temp/tmp mikec@kashmir's password: rsync: building file list... rsync: 4218 files to consider.
