The versions of the different machines I use are the initiating machine : Sun 450 Solaris 8 Rsync 2.5.5
The machine that I try to copy from : IBM rs6000 AIX 4.3 Rsync 2.3.1 The command I use is /usr/local/bin/rsync -au -q --stats --progress --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync maximus:/ptsfs2 /diskbackup/kanal1/maximus/ The error message comes when he tries to copy that file mentioned below which is 14GB big it is not the filesystem or the name of the file because it worked with ncftpget. But that program has other problems that I will not mention here.

That error message is not in the rsync source. Since you don't say what platforms are involved, what the commandline or other config info is, the context of the message, or what version of rsync it would be difficult to say. My best guess is that the filename is too long for the destination filesystem but that seems unlikely because rsync creates its own error messages for that. Confirm that you can create a file 10 chars longer than the actual file then try again with more info. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
