I want to backup data from one machine to another remote machine. I have Freebsd4.7 on source and FreeBSD4.9 on destination machines. rsync is installed on both the machines. I gave the following command at the source machine. rsync -avvznrbe rsh /sourcepath 66.123.34.123:/destinationpath (66.123.34.123 is the destination ip address) Below is the error i get opening connection using rsh 66.123.34.123 rsync --server -vvbnlogDtprz . /destinationpath 66.123.34.123: operation timed out rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189) I am using dry run for testing purpose. I can "rsh" from source to destination machine but i do not understand why rsync is not working. Any direction would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
