Hello,
I have set up an anonymous rsync server
that seems to work as expected. However
when I try to access the server from several
other unix boxes using rsync with a command
like this;
rsync netlib3.cs.utk.edu::netlib
I get the motd and then a line that states
client: nothing to do
Now I would expect this to give me a directory
listing. I do get the directory listing as
expected when doing the command from the local
box. I have tried other servers listed here;
http://sunsite.dk/info/guides/rsync/rsync-mirroring03.html
and I get the same results, when using some of my
clients I just get the motd and the client: nothing
to do error.
Is this an issue with backwards compatibility between
new server and older client communications?
Is there a way to get the listings as expected for
all clients?
Thanks,
Don
