There you go. "rsync -vn --timeout=0 frank at server.domain.com::webfiles /local_user/frank/myjsppages", and add the password when it asks, IF it asks. did you set up the rsyncd.conf with security? If not, it's "rsync -vn --timeout=0
server.domain.com::webfiles /local_user/frank/myjsppages". The ssh stuff will only make it fail, as you're trying to use rsync's internal transport, rather than relying on an external one.
Now, you know, adding -n will mean it will only say what i WOULD do if not running as a dry run (-n== --dry-run), so don't be surprised when nothing transfers. Also, as the webfiles is a module, it's a directory. rsync won't just transfer a directory.
see example:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
atlas{karrie}% rsync willy::
big
big1
ToolSyncModules
sjt-tools-master1
sjt-tools1
sjt-tools2
Tools
atlas{karrie}% rsync willy::big .
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?
atlas{karrie}%
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You'll want to refer to its contents somehow, either just that top level, with /* or simply /, or by a -r (or -r-implying) option.
rsyncd at leasts responds, (the telnet trick). You're also well on your way to understanding... most people failing to go to a rsyncd aren't even using the correct syntax to refer to the remote resource.
I can finally delete these stupid security disclaimers.

Tim,
The commandline is as shown below:
/opt/rsync/bin/rsync -vn --timeout=0 -e ssh
frank at server.domain.com::webfiles /local_user/frank/myjsppages
If I telnet to port 873 on the local machine or any machine on my local
network I get the following:
# telnet localhost 873
Trying...
Connected to localhost.interex.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 24
If I telnet to port 873 from an outside network it doesn't give feedback,
just says Trying.... and doesn't move.
Here is the feedback from the ssh server.domain.com rsync --version
command:
ssh server.domain.com rsync --version
frank at server.domain.com's password:
rsync version 2.4.6 protocol version 24
Written by Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras
The file /etc/services has this line present:
rsync 873/tcp # Rsync server
The file /etc/inetd.conf has the following line:
rsync stream tcp nowait root /opt/rsync/bin/rsync rsyncd
--daemon
I think this covered all of your inquiries and I hope this info is useful.
Thanks for all your help so far.
Jeff
