The module is considered a directory (since that's what it is), and unless you're going recursive, directories are ignored. try this one: rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA/* /tmp or, if you want everything in the module treeA rsync --port 9876 -av u018::treeA /tmp I prefer implying -r with -a, as that also preserves permissions, times, and ownerships, if they can translate (and you're root). I don't mean the inclusion below as an RTFM, just to point out what, among the 1848 lines in the man page, you're looking for: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -r, --recursive This tells rsync to copy directories recursively. If you don't specify this then rsync won't copy direc- tories at all.

I tried: rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA /tmp but it still does not work. 71:david@u050 /export/david> rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA /tmp/a client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?
