Hi list,
After reading rsync docu and doing online search, I still failed to find
a simple solution for following problem:
The goal is to sync two directories using rsync without running the
rsync daemon on one of the two hosts. The standard shell sync does not
work because of the network topology:
Ssh connect to SRC-Host
^
Base host (with ssh keys)
v
Ssh connect to bridge with tunnel for next ssh
v
Ssh connect to DST host via bridge.
No direct connection SRC/DST is possible, the ssh keys only reside on
base host and cannot be copied to any other host.
My idea was to create ssh tunnels (plain port forward) from DST:4444 to
base:5555, base:5555 to SRC:6666 (result tunnel DST:4444->SRC:6666) and
run on SRC:
nc -lp 6666 -e rsync --server -a . .
and something like that at DST
rsync -a rsync://localhost:4444/ .
but that fails on src side with:
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(61)
[receiver=2.6.9]
Is there a posibility to make this work (mis-)using some command line
parameters, e.g. -e or --sender?
thanks, roman
