Scenario -=20

Box 1 - Domain - Toast
            Directory to be sync'ed - /home/shared
            is the local machine
Box 2 - Domain - Butter
            Directory to receive sync - /2g/syncdir
            is the remote machine

rsync is installed on both machines. Toast is a Suse8.1 Pro, Butter is =
Suse8.2 Pro. rsync server is running on both machines.

Both machines have identical users/passwds.  I can ssh, scp, sftp =
between the machines both directions no problems.  So I believe I am not =
getting the syntax of the command correct (as Bruce showed me that my =
scp syntax was incorrect, and that was why I could get it to work).

user@Toast:/home/shared> rsync /home/shared user@Butter:/2g/syncdir

    ERROR: the remote server path must start with a module name not a /
    rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at =
main.c(923)

user@Toast:/home/shared> rsync /home/shared user@Butter::/2g/syncdir

    Same error as above.

user@Toast:/home/shared> rsync user@Toast:/home/shared =
user@Butter:/2g/syncdir

    Toast: Connection refused
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
    rsync: error in the rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at =
io.c(150)

user@Toast:/home/shared> rsync . user@Butter::/2g/syncdir

    ERROR: the remote server path must start with a module name not a /
    rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at =
main.c(923)

user@Toast:/home/shared> rsync . user@Butter:/2g/syncdir

    Butter: Connection refused
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
    rsync: error in the rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at =
io.c(150)

If syntax is all the problem I'm having, it would be a beautiful thing.

Thanks, Jon
