I am trying to use rsync for the first time to backup web project files across my home LAN. On 'webserver' (RH 6.0) and on mylocalhost (RH 6.2) I've tried running rsync like this: (from webserver to mylocalhost) $ cd $ rsync -van webserver:/home/httpd/html/mywebsite/* ./mywebsite Permission Denied Unexpected EOF on read_timeout (from mylocalhost to webserver) $ cd $ rsync -van /home/httpd/html/mywebsite/* mylocalhost:/home/amead/mywebsite Permission Denied Unexpected EOF on read_timeout I can rsh back and forth but I need to enter a password dispite the fact that I've created .rhosts in my home directory on both machines like this: +webserver +mylocalhost The host names are all private /etc/hosts-based if that matters. I searched the web and found a couple others with the same problem but no solution and the rsync website appears screwed up. Anyone know what's up?
