[other] Does an rsync transfer require rsync on both machines?

Hi all,

I'm new to the rsync world in hpux. Currently I have rsync going through the main public lan, but dude to traffic loads, I have been told that i need to use a dedicated rsync lan.

I currently have 4 spare nics and the plan was to use one of these for the rsync, but I can't figure out how to get the rsync process to use the spare nic.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm using rsync in my own C++ program by issueing the command system("rsync -rauzvq root@host:/folder");

I use this for keeping multiple systems in sync.

Now I have the problem that when a remote host shuts off and there it was still rsync-ing with my program, my program hangs for the period of the TCP timeout.

I always wondered why rsync tries to transfer a file to a remote location where it has read/execute permissions for the target dir, but no write permissions to create the actual destination file.

I would like to run rsync without the need to enter a password.

For some reason when running a single rsync command I am getting 1 MB/sec to 2 MB/sec even when I connecting 2 servers both connected to 1 Gbps ports.

rsync -v --progress -e ssh /backup/mysqldata/mysql-bin.000199 root@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/secondary/mysqldata/mysqldata/mysql-bin.000199

I have over 800 GB of data to transfer split among 500 or so files all starting with:

mysql-bin.000*

I've fo

I am transferring a large amount of files from one computer to another using rsync.

Hi,

I'm a newbe on this forum, and I have a question. I try to send a file to other server with solaris with rsync, but I have this error:

bash: rsync: command not found rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

the command is rsync -ctvz --timeout=10 --bwlimit=100 export.tar.gz max@reposrv:

I was using a script to perform rsync in sudo crontab. The script does a 2-way rsync (from serverA to serverB and reverse). the rsync uses ssh to connect between servers. After i reboot both the server machines, the rsync is not working in sudo crontab.

I am trying to use Rsync to transfer files between servers. However, I used a nonstandard port on one of the servers. This caused trouble, so I changed the port back to 22. Now, when I try to use Rsync it still tries to connect to the non standard port. When I use Webmin for SSH, it tells me that the SSH server isn't running on port 22.
