As Patrick O'Callaghan has pointed out, the target site must be running an rsync daemon for you to connect with your rsync client. Fortunately this is usually rather simple to determine:The actual DNS name of the rsync site may take some guessing, and you can always use an absolute IP address if you now it. If there's an rsync daemon running on that site, it should respond with the contents of the /etc/rsyncd.conf file following the initialization section. Those contents will guide you to wherever the folder(s)/file(s) may be that you want to fetch. For example, here locally I can type:$ rsync rsync://ftp.target.site--or--$ rsync rsync://rsync.target.siteTo create or update a local mirror of the F12 Updates repository on my rsync server "lion" I just type: Patrick, "Doc", Rick, Thanks for your suggestions.... As Patrick said, it doesn't work - I'd rather hoped there might be a sort of "one sided rsync" that would read the destination, do a diff on it & upload what was needed. Ho hum. So I tried the various rsync suggestions & got a resounding silence as response... Installed Kasablanca & couldn't get it to connect... BUT, it looked so much list Krusader (which I'd been using to do manual updates) & found it actually has a "directory sync" in one of its menus & this has done exactly what I hoped! Thanks again to you all Dave |
