pulling data from the server

[tim.conway at philips.com]

The module is considered a directory (since that's what it is), and unless 
you're going recursive, directories are ignored.
try this one:
rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA/* /tmp
or, if you want everything in the module treeA
rsync --port 9876 -av u018::treeA /tmp
I prefer implying -r with -a, as that also preserves permissions, times, 
and ownerships, if they can translate (and you're root).
I don't mean the inclusion below as an RTFM, just to point out what, among 
the 1848 lines in the man page, you're looking for:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     -r, --recursive
          This tells rsync to copy  directories  recursively.  If
          you  don't  specify  this  then rsync won't copy direc-
          tories at all.

Thank you but what is the correct command line?

I tried:

rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA /tmp

but it still does not work.

71:david at u050 /export/david> rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA /tmp/a
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?


 Cheers,
        David
