Hello,
The rsync man page shows example invocations that use the
"--server" option. I could not find documentation for this option (a)
in the man page (b) in the HTML man page on the website (c) in the
"--help" help. I therefore found these examples to be confusing.
Is there anywhere where I can find documentation for the
"--server" option?
As a result of not finding documentation, I had to experiment
to figure out that if you want to run an rsync server from the command
line as non-root, you seem to have to *omit* the "--server" option.
However, I still have no idea when the "--server" option should be
used.
