Here is the rsync line i am currently trying to use that yeilds the results in the log's listed below. rsync -czvvL --password-file /etc/rsync.passwd --bwlimit=175 --timeout=9999 rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/critical/* /STOR-1/backups/critical/ >> /var/log/rsync.vail.pulls.vegas.critical 2>&1 echo "------- END NEW ENTRY --------" >> /var/log/rsync.vail.pulls.vegas.critical Tried the -L option and i get this : "opening tcp connection to vegas.scg.inet port 873 client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?" i then add --recursive as well and now i get : "opening tcp connection to vegas.scg.inet port 873 receiving file list ... done delta transmission enabled wrote 134 bytes read 113 bytes 98.80 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045)" *_*All Files/folders/symlinks are 777 so it's not a permissions issue i don't believe.
