Re: [Sheflug] Questions about ftp scp, and uploading files ingeneral

[Matt Fairtlough <nospam [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've started using rsync and it is brilliant but I can't get it to work
with a remote connection.  It may be version incompatibilities but I
find it odd that the command can't be found as rsync is clearly
installed remotely (on a sparc/solaris machine) and I would have thought
that rsync could synchronise with earlier versions of itself.  Here is
what I tried and what failed:

local /home/me: rsync -e ssh -av tmp nospam [at] remote.path.uk:~/tmp

me@remote.path.uk's password: 
rsync: Command not found
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

remote% rsync --version
rsync version 2.3.1  protocol version 20

local /home/me: rsync --version
rsync version 2.4.6  protocol version 24

Any comments gratefully received, Matt.
