I have setup rsync to run as a deamon exporting one module named home. when I attempt to use the rsync syntax specified on http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync.html
as follows: rsync -av -e "ssh -l ssh-user" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module /dest I get a message from ssh, "bad escape character 'ssh -l username'". This is an ssh error message, but I am not putting any escape characters in. My goal is to use rsync tunneled over ssh to connect to a remote rsync daemon. I've looked into a backgrounded ssh session with port forwarding, but it seems rather brittle. Any pointers on making a secure connection to rsync in daemon mode would be appreciated. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
