That's an ssh problem, not rsync. try "ssh xx.yy.zz". That said, ssh is irrelevant to what you're trying to do. you are going to a module on an rsync daemon, not a directory through a remote shell transport connection. :: is an rsync-protocol TCP connection to port 873, not an ssh-protocol TCP connection to port 22.
Pick one. Either "rsync -aurvlpogt kk.txt XXX.YYY.ZZZ::pruebas1", or " rsync -aurvlpogt -e ssh kk.txt XXX.YYY.ZZZ:/path/to/pruebas1". For the latter, you'll have to get ssh working between the two systems. Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello gurus I attemp to make a backup between two hosts, using rsync, and result is ok. But and I agree "-e ssh" to sentence, host backup says rsync -aurvlpogt -e ssh kk.txt XXX.YYY.ZZZ::pruebas1 @ERROR: access denied to pruebas1 from unknown (0.0.0.0) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (78 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) Any idea ??
