rsync: push_dir TESTDIR: No such file or directory

[tim.conway at philips.com]

Daemian:  You're mixing two mutually-exclusive modes - rsync over ssh, and 
rsync over rsync internal TCP transport to an rsyncd.  -e ssh is ignored 
on rsync to rsyncd, and rsync to rsyncd requires the double-colon("::") 
representation of the remote.  The --port= is also relevant only to 
contacting an rsyncd.
In this case, you are opening an ssh stream, and passing info over that, 
to a shell.  "MYUSERNAME at MY.SERV.ER.IP:TESTDIR" means external transport to the subdirectory named "TESTDIR" under the 
home directory of "MYUSERNAME" on machine "MY.SERV.ER.IP".

So, your rsyncd.conf is also meaningless in this context.

Looking at it from the purpose of successfully doing what your command 
does, I'd first try
ssh MY.SERV.ER.IP <-l MYUSERNAME> pwd
and see if it's what you expect.  You might be landing in a directory 
where you don't have write perms... It's happenned.

Let me know what you find.

Hi all.  I'm getting the following error when using rsync:

nice -n 20 rsync -e "ssh -p30000" --recursive --verbose --verbose

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(162)

On the client I'm using Win2K SP2, running Cygwin's rsync 2.5.5 and
OpenSSH_3.4p1. 

On the Linux Debian Woody server, I'm using rsync version 2.5.6cvs 
protocol
version 26, with ssh OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.

Because MYSERVER is behind a firewall which services multiple machines
providing ssh, I'm forwarding Internet-side ports 30000 and 31000 to ssh 
and
rsync, respectively, on MYSERVER.  On MYSERVER, those daemons are 
listening
on their conventional port numbers.  (Because I'm not sure at which point
the rsync data stream takes over, I've tried the command both with and
without the --port=31000 switch.  No dice either way.)

Here's what MYSERVER's /etc/rsyncd.conf looks like:

log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

[TESTDIR]
path = /home/MYUSERNAME/TESTDIR
read only = false
strict modes = false
uid = MYUSERNAME
gid = nogroup
auth users = MYUSERNAME
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
transfer logging = yes
log format = [%m] %o %u@%h %f [length:%l tran:%b] (%a)
