Quoting Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Brian, I usually get that message when rsync isn't installed on my "remote" computer. Perhaps double check rsync is installed on both machines. Using ssh with rsync is cool. I usually setup a seperate key to go along with ssh and rsync. The key created has no passphrase, and therefore you can use ssh with rsync in a cronjob. ex rsync command.
rsync -av -e 'ssh -i /home/user/.ssh/sshkey' hostname:/home/* /home/spot/ There's a web page to check out: http://www.dhs.org/pipermail/systalk/2001-February/015392.html HTH, Mike > I'm trying to run rsync over ssh with a command such as: > > $ rsync -v -e ssh some_file another_computer:. > > or any other permutation of the command, but I get the not-so-verbose > error message: > > bash: rsync: command not found > unexpected EOF in read_timeout > > Presumably, the command in question is ssh, since it doesn't show up > if I use rsh.
