Connection Timeout

2001-10-22 Thread Jeff Sims
This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone.   I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set

This is a message I posted (one of several) awhile back that addresses at least one rsync/winsock problem. Randy O'Meara I have received a few queries regarding my progress in solving the rsync sender's abortive connection close() on Winsock-based platforms. In my research, I stumbled across

Cannot answer your other problems, but I find that the '--exclude-from=foo' where 'foo' is a file with the following: /proc /proc/* That does the trick for me skipping other directories. You can also test your rsync scripts to make sure they are excluding correctly by tacking 'n' on the end of t

the $(command) syntax is a ksh-specific form of backticking, which is nestable, and therefore more flexible than backticks (I always have to do all the intermediate steps into variables, and use variable substitution instead, for portability). You'll also see $((arithmetic expression)), and eve

I am sorry, but I am having trouble understanding your question because of the poor English in your message. Does the -u or --update option help you? Normally rsync does not delete files that are excluded. A common problem is that people do not include a slash at the end of the source path and

Hi everybody, I want to share a feature request I wrote here some time ago. I'd like to give rsync more than 1 source-tree, where the "sum" (as described below) is rsync'd to the destination. suppose I have some machines, which have almost the same configuration, different only in small detail
