#/usr/local/bin/rsync --rsh /usr/local/bin/ssh --rsync-path /usr/local/bin/rsync remote_server::test /home/test rsync: unable to open configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file or directory rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at clientserver.c(502) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) Any ideas please. > ---------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of > Daniel Teklu > Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 1:03 PM > To: rsync@lists.samba.org > Subject: pulling files > > I am trying to pull files froma remote server. here is what I have on > rsyncd.conf on the remote server: > > [test] > comment = TEST > path = /home/test > read only = no > uid = root > gid = root > > and on the local server I run > > # rsync -avR --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync remote_server::test > /home/test > > and I am getting this error: > > @ERROR: invalid gid root > rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (87 bytes read so far) > rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) > > is my rsync syntax wrong or it is something else?
