shellarchive · 11-09-2009, 04:30 AM

i am trying to synchronise my linux folder with shared windows folder.
i have installed cwrsyncserver & openssh on windows machine.
i am able to synchronise from windows machine by running command
rsync --avz -e ssh /cygdrive/c/shared root@10.48.13.145:/root/new/

where /cygdrive/c/shared is of windows machine & 10.48.13.145 is remote linux machine.

but when i try to run rsync from linux machine
" rsync Administrator@10.48.13.160:/cygdrive/c/shared/ /root/new/"

i am getting error

rsync Administrator@10.48.13.160:/cygdrive/c/shared/ /root/new/
Administrator@10.48.13.160's password:
bash: rsync: command not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

Cwrsyncserver is successfully on windows machine as service with openssh."

any help ? ? ?

man rsync:

you either use a double colon :: instead of a single colon to separate the hostname from the path, or you use an rsync:// URL.

You are doing neither - so you get an SSH attempt.
