push data instead of pull

It won't go.  only either the source or the destination can be remote.  In 
your examples, you pretty much duplicate the documentation on the same 
topic:

GENERAL
     There are six different ways of using rsync. They are:





SunOS 5.7           Last change: 29 May 2001                    1






User Commands                                            rsync(1)



     o    for copying local files. This is invoked  when  neither
          source nor destination path contains a : separator



     o    for copying from the local machine to a remote  machine
          using  a remote shell program as the transport (such as
          rsh or ssh). This is invoked when the destination  path
          contains a single : separator.



     o    for copying from a remote machine to the local  machine
          using  a remote shell program. This is invoked when the
          source contains a : separator.



     o    for copying from a remote rsync  server  to  the  local
          machine.  This is invoked when the source path contains
          a ::  separator or a rsync:// URL.



     o    for copying from the local machine to  a  remote  rsync
          server.  This is invoked when the destination path con-
          tains a ::  separator.



     o    for listing files on a remote machine. This is done the
          same  way  as rsync transfers except that you leave off
          the local destination.

     Note that in all cases (other than listing) at least one  of
     the source and destination paths must be local.

Handy things, those man pages...

        Classification: 



Hi,

I have a rsync server set up.

Can i push data from the server to another machine
instead of pulling data from that machine.

when i try to do that i get this error.

mkdir tohost:/tmp ; No such file or directory.

But the directory exists. This is the command i
executed.

rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync 
fromhost::test tohost:/tmp

This works fine if iam logged onto "tohost" and pull
data i.e

rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync 
fromhost::test /tmp

This works fine if i do it without the server

rsync -avz --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
 /disk1/tmp tohost:/tmp

I execute the above command logged on to the
"fromhost"
machine.


let me know if iam doing anything wrong.

thanks

gautam ganesh
