RSYNC ERROR

[meekrob]

Hi ,
i have the following error when using rsync between two servers , note that rsync function properly on the same server (locally).
rsync -av /tmp/toto /scxdpap2:tmp/toto
password:
sh:rsync: not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error : error in rsync protocol data stream (code12) at io.c (463) [sender=2.6.8]

note that rlogin work properly
thank's in advance for your help

You lost communication with another rsync. Possible causes for that are: remote rsync not working, remote disk is full, network errors.

regards,
ivan

Hi ,
note that the ping is working properly ,
but an other remark is :
that for exemple when i put this command locally it works well , but when i also i put it locally but in this time specifying the name of the server , it gives me the same error ,
rsync -av /tmp/toto scxdpap1:tmp/toto
note that scxdpap1 is the local server

[Ivan Krastev]

possible error maybe misconfigured resolvers - try with ip add , instead of names

It seems it is not able to find path for rsync utility on remote server. If you know where it is installed on remote server then specify full path for rsync.

Shalom,

key:
sh:rsync: not found

whereis rsync

find /usr /opt -name rsync

Probably your PATH variable is not correct.

Hi,
I have had the same problem.

try with ssh
rsync -av --rsync path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /tmp/toto /scxdpap2:tmp/toto

or with rsh
rsync -av --rsh=remsh /tmp/toto /scxdpap2:tmp/toto

I hope it´s not too late.
