Rsync error main.c

[KING,RICHARD (HP-Boise,ex1)]

JW, 

Thank you for replying. You are correct in that I do have two identical
machines, thanks for clarifying. 

It seems I still get the same exact error message with or without using SSH.


Which brings me back to why I'm I getting the error message, eventhough the
file has transferred?

Regards, 

Rick King

It looks like your ssh process took a sigint.
Try -vv  That should generate a log message that reads
_exit_cleanup(code=nn, file=nn, line=nn): about to call exit(nn)
