Your "hosts allow" is fine; that error message indicates a problem with the username/password authentication. Since you set "auth users = admin", you need to tell rsync to log in to the daemon with username "admin"; otherwise it will default to using your system username, "root", which isn't present on the daemon. Here's the command: rsync -zav admin@<remote-server-ip>::realperson2 /random/file-or-directory Matt -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
