It seems that I need to use --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync in my command.
All, I'm having a problem with the rsync parameters -remove-source-files. I'm attempting to rsync files from a remote server (source). My target machine is Linux 2.6.9-67.ELsmp and my source machine is AIX 3. Rsync is version rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on the target machine and rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 on the AIX server. My rsync command is: rsync -e ssh -avz --remove-source-files use...@aix_server:/tmp/test.txt . I'm running this command on the target server (Linux). The message I get is: use...@linuxserver:/tmp> rsync -e ssh -avz --remove-source-files use...@aix_server:/tmp/test.txt . rsync: on remote machine: --remove-source-files: unknown option rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1002) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453) [receiver=2.6.9] This works fine when I'm on the same server, ie.move file on same server, to different directory So questions: Does -remove-source-files work across remote connections? Does it work across different OS? Do I need to have my systems guys upgrade the rsync version on the AIX server to match that on my Linux box? Thanks, Scott
