Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two.
I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html. Environment: "ozma" is an HP-UX rp2430, running 11.11; rsync version 2.6.4 protocol version 29 (2.6.6 requires too many things we don't have installed) /etc/rsyncd.conf has: [ftp] path = /tmp/ftp comment = ftp export area /etc/services has: rsync 873/tcp # rsync /etc/inetd.conf has: sync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon "opus" is a RedHat Linux system runnning, uh, well, maye it's 2.4.20-28.7 as reported by uname -a?; rsync version 2.5.7 protocol version 26 /etc/services has: rsync 873/tcp # rsync rsync 873/udp # rsync /etc/xinetd.d/rsync has: service rsync { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID } (we run xinetd, not inetd) "tinman" is my WinXP Pro SP2 PC rsh is the Windows distrution version rsync is cygwin's 2.5.1, protocol version 25 set PATH=c:\rsync;%PATH% set CYGWIN=binmode tty set TERM=ansi set USERNAME=sieler set HOME=c:\rsync set RSYNC_RSH=rsh.exe (a copy of the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RSH.EXE is in my C:\RSYNC directory) So.... 1. from PC to HP-UX: rsh works, rsynch doesn't rsh from the PC to an HP-UX box (11.11) works fine: (PC): rsh ozma uname HP-UX but rsync to the HP-UX box fails: (PC): rsync foo ozma:/tmp/foo Terminal read: The handle is invalid. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) 2. from PC to Linux: nothing works rsh from the PC to the Linux box simply times out after about 30 seconds: (PC): rsh opus uname (30 second delay) opus.allegro.com: Permission denied rsh.exe: can't establish connection rsync similarly times out: (PC): rsync foo opus:/tmp/foo opus.allegro.com: Permission denied. rsh.exe: can't establish connection rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) ----- Other info... 3. rsh from Linux to HP-UX: works (Linux): rsh ozma uname HP-UX 4. rsync from Linux to HP-UX: works (Linux): rsync -v mime ozma:/tmp/mime mime wrote 83 bytes read 54 bytes 91.33 bytes/sec total size is 1812 speedup is 13.23 5. rsh from HP-UX to Linux: works (HP-UX): remsh opus uname Linux rsync ss.startup.notes opus:/tmp/ss.startup.notes ssh: connect to host opus port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) 6. rsync from HP-UX to Linux: fails (HP-UX): rsync stdlist.179.nofilter.txt opus:/tmp/foo9 ssh: connect to host opus port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) Hmmm...if I switch to rsh: (HP-UX): rsync -v --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync --rsh=/usr/bin/rsh foo opus:/tmp/foo /usr/bin/rsh: opus: not found. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) but, /usr/bin/rsh and /usr/bin/rsync are indeed present and runnable by me on opus (the Linux box). If I change "/usr/bin/rsh" in the above to a bad name, like "/usr/bin/ZZZ", I get: sync: Failed to exec /usr/bin/ZZZ: No such file or directory (2) so I know that's the apparently right syntax :) thanks, -- Stan Sieler work: www.allegro.com personal: www.sieler.com/wanted/index.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
