Grsync failure
Hi,
I'm trying to sync a folder between my Windows install and my PCLinux install. Same machine, Windows 7 on the C drive and Linux on an external USB hard drive. Using the Grsync GUI, I searched for the source and destination folders, and then executed the command. Here is the output: ** Launching RSYNC command (simulation mode):It seems to be doing an FTP operation, whereas all I need is a file transfer. Can anyone point out my error here? Thanks, Paul |

Ok, Thanks. I used the Grsync browser to spec the file locations, so I would think that the program would recognize the filespec as being local. But I'll try rsync and see what I can do there.

Code:
rsync -r -n -t -v --progress -s "/media/Win7/Documents and Settings/Paul/Application Data/The Word" "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/The Word/myData" |
Thanks again. I'm busy on Windows currently, but when I go to Linux I'll give this a run and then report back.

I thought I'd be in the money with this. I cheated a bit on your suggestion, by only cleaning up the destination spec by removing its "media" prefix. Then I did a Simulation, with success. But every time I actually Executed (I'm still in Grsync), there was an error:
*** Launching RSYNC command:Subsequent rsync tries using your suggestion failed as well, without notification. This baffles me, because the directory exists already. The problem seems to be related to the program, theWord, running under WINE. Using theWord's browser within Wine, the destination directory should be file:///root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/Application Data/The Word. But using that gets me into the original Port 22 FTP problem. If I delete the file:/// prefix, the Simulation goes fine, but the Execution produces the mkdir error. If I run the rsync using a plain vanilla directory, such as root/documents/the word, rsync works flawlessly. The problem there is that Wine isn't allowing theWord to see outside it's own simulated drive_c universe. So I'm stuck in no-man's land. This is probably more a WINE question than an rsync question. I guess I need to ask it again in that light. Thanks, p. |
