Hi, I am pretty new to rsync so this question might have a very trivial answer. Sorry for that then. (using google didn't work though)
I want to synchronise the files from my laptop to my machine at work and back from time to time. Both machines have linux (the laptop has fedora core 2 with a 2.6.6 kernel and the remote machine redhat 9 with a 2.6.3 kernel) On the laptop I use rsync v2.6.2 and on the remote machine I use v2.5.7 Using the following command: rsync -a /home/ameer/midastests remotemachine:/home/ameer/midastests I get an errormessage: protocol version mismatch - is your shell clean? (see the rsync man page for an explanation) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(62) I tried to use version v2.6.2 of rsync on the remotemachine, adding the option: --rsync-path=/path-to-rsync/bin/rsync This gave the same result. Also using v2.5.7 on the laptop gave the same result and a test between two remotemachines at work running the same versions gave the same. Can somebody help me out with this? Thank you very much in advance Cheers Arjen -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
