rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]

2008-02-15 Thread chuang liu
Hi all: I am trying to transfer a file from a machine A to a machine B. I ran a rsync deamon on machine B at a given port. Because there is a firewall between these two machines, I opened the port on the firewall. Is this enough to get rsync work through firewall? When I tried the transfer, I got

sync append only file

2008-02-07 Thread chuang liu
Hi: I need periodically rsync a bunch of very big files. These files are append-only so changes are already at the end of the file. Because files are big, I assume it will take some time comparing the first part of files. Is there a way that I can tell rsync to sync only the extra part at the end

Hi all: I tried to start a rsync daemon under my user name (not an administrator) on debian linux box(linux kernel 2.4.27), and failed. The command I used is > rsync -v -v --daemon --config=rsyncd.conf This command returns without any error although the daemon does not get started. The rsyncd.co
