well that suggests you don't have an rsync server listening at the other end. Do you believe you have? These days it's more common to run rsync over SSH, removing the need for a formal rsync service listening at the other end, and getting a more secure encrypted connection with it.

I can't tell you that, you need to already know what you actually want to achieve with your own systems and describe it effectively. We know nothing about the systems involved, you do.

As I just said, I don't know, as I don't know what you want to achieve and what resources you have to work with. Do you have ssh access to the peer server? You can try just adding "-e ssh" to the command as per the manpage, but there are so many unknowns for us here...

I presumed that "::root/test/" was a typo... do you not mean ":/root/test/" ?

well you've still not got an rsync server to connect to, so that's not surprising. Do you think you have one or not? If you do, fix it, if not, don't use rsync directly.

As above, we don't know what you're working with. also as above, you would generally do this over ssh, there are many many many guides online for using rsync over ssh if you have a search. Often it's just a case of adding "-e ssh" to the command though (also, as above)
