Rsync and Webmin won't recognize a change in ports

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – 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. If I use Putty, everything works fine, so I know it is set up on port 22. Any suggestions on how to get Rsync and Webmin to notice the change? I've restarted the Rsync service multiple times and I am using Ubuntu Server. (HowTos)

rsync server/daemon security 27 weeks 5 days ago

I have a NAS (Netgear Readynas NV+) at home and a linux (Arch) box at work that is always on. The linux box is already running an ssh server/daemon and the NAS is already running an rsync server/daemon. The NAS does not support rsync over ssh.

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.

Ssh connection timed out 22 weeks 2 days ago

Hello,

I have two AIX6.1 machines that can communicate with each other through ssh. The problem is that one of them somehow closes the connection after some time and i don't know the reason of that. For example today i send through rsync command 7 files from one server to the other.

error using rsync 2 years 18 weeks ago

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 have a mirroring system in place with rsync and it works well. However, moving a file causes it to be transferred again in its entirety.

Given what I know about the rsync algorithm's rolling checksum, wouldn't it be possible to:

tar all the source files rsync the tar

and only incur a block-size penalty for the change in file name, after which the checksum would resynchronise?

I used rsync to copy a large number of files, but my OS (Ubuntu) restarted unexpectedly.

After reboot, I ran rsync again, but from the output on the terminal, I found that rsync still copied those already copied before. But I heard that rsync is able to find differences between source and destination, and therefore to just copy the differences.
