Re: RSync + SSH tunneling through firewall

[Stefaan Lhermitte]

I tried to connect the tunnel with another port number. When I use port number 22 instead of 873 I can telnet to C from B. When I telnet I get  "SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.9p1." Subsequently I ran: ssh -v -L 22:C-computer:22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I run now the rsync command: rsync -v /cygdrive/d/folder/ 127.0.0.1::cygdrive/folder I get the error: "failed to connect to 127.0.0.1. Connection refused." When I run: rsync -v --port=22 /cygdrive/d/folder/ 127.0.0.1::cygdrive/folder I get the error "server sent SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.9p1 rather than greeting" I assume it is a problem associated with the telnet command. Can anyone help?

In between there is one computer (let's assume B-computer) that has an open port, so I theoretically could connect via a tunnel. I checked the SSH- website and internet and so on but did not find an answer that works. I tried the solution I found on the net: When I run ssh -v -L 873:C-computer:873 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get connected to B-computer without any problems. When I subsequently run in a new window: rsync -v /cygdrive/d/folder/ 127.0.0.1:: cygdrive/folder I get the following error:  Connection reset by peer. In the tunneling window teh following error appears: administrativetly prohibited: open failed Can you telnet port 873 on C from B ? [ Is rsync daemon listening on C ? ] I'm kind of new in the SSH-RSYNC world and don't know how to solve the problem. I assume it is an SSH problem since the problem persist when I run:  ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -p 873. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Stefaan Lhermitte Research Associate Lab of Geomatics and Forest Engineering K.U.
