> Remote Machine: Connection refused This looks like an rsh or ssh problem. Old versions of rsync uses by default rsh while the recent ones uses ssh. > rsync -r --timeout=600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] machine:/opt/u91/scripts/sqlpath/* > /home/oracle/sqlpath Try this instead to see precisely what command rsync runs on the remote machine: rsync -vv -r --timeout=600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] machine:/opt/u91/scripts/sqlpath/ \ /home/oracle/sqlpath If your version of rsync uses rsh, force then to use ssh vith: --rsh=ssh Note: It's better to use sqlpath/ instead of sqlpath/* in your command: o To prevent an eventual arg list too long on the remote o To be able to use --delete if you want an exact mirror of the sqlpath directory You may also want to use the --archive option. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tel: (33) 04 92 38 79 11, Bur: C112 INRIA Sophia, 2004, rte des Lucioles, B.P.93 - 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
