rsync : connection unexpectedly closed

[Vijay Ram.C]

Hi all,

    I am working on a networking product in which i am using Rsync to update configuration files in them.
    While syncing a file of 5.5MB, i am facing a problem. An error is displayed and the syncing process is terminated.
    The error is as below:

       rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1804855 bytes received so far) [receiver]
       rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (39 bytes received so far) [generator]

      The rsync command line is given as below:

           rsync --timeout=60  srcIp::path/file.tar.gz  destPath/destFile

      On looking into the code, i found the comment saying that expecting an EOF over a network is wrong. Hence a wait for 
      10 seconds is done and then the connection is terminated. Does the increase in the time to a higher value solve this 
       problem ? Or is there any other fix available for this issue. 

       Any help on this regard is greatly appreciated.
       
  Best Regards,
   Vijay Ram.C
