        Subject:        rsh syntax - Help
        Classification: 



Please can someone provide me with the exact syntax for using the rsh 
protocol. I am trying to copy files in a directory named /opt/config/  on 
server DevlServ to the same directory on server ApplServ1.
 
I have tried the following without much success:
 
rsync --rsh= cp /opt/config/on DevlServ:/opt/config
 
rsync rsh cp /opt/config/on DevlServ:/opt/config
 
Both of the above results in error messages.
 
I can rsh to server DevlServ from the UNIX command line without being 
requested to enter a password, so I am pretty confident that rsh is setup 
correctly and I have full permissions to both directories. I think I just 
need to get the syntax right. HELP
 
 
The error message I get is as follows:
 
config
cp: cannot access DevlServ
cp: cannot access --server
cp: .: is a directory
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(140)
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
