Only use a secrets file if you want it. Without it, there is no password check. Also, that secrets file = line is only relevant if you're running an rsync daemon. If you're using rsync over ssh (as you seem to be trying), then forget about rsyncd.conf. > Actually i am using the following command to copy files from remote server > to local machine. > > *$ rsync -v -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/webroot.txt /tmp* > ** > after executing the above command I am getting the following error. > *==============================================================* > *ssh: openbsd.nixcraft.in: no address associated with name That means that ssh cannot resolve the hostname given. Nothing *at* *all* to do with rsync! First make sure you can login to that host with plain ssh before trying to run rsync to it.
