Topic: rsync (now esmith is shut)

[Robert]

i have happily used rsync out of e-smith's server

(/usr/bin/rsync -avv --progress --stats --partial rsync://ftp.e-smith.org/e-smith
/e-smith/dev/5.6dev/iso/smeserver-5.6dev.iso .)

but now they have pushed this out to mirrors (no problem with that!),
i have tried to access an aussie mirror but have it wrong somehow:
could someone pls point out my errror, i trying to

/usr/bin/rsync -avv --progress --stats --partial rsync://ftp.mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/e-smith/releases/5.6/
iso/smeserver-5.6unsupported.iso .

TIA ROb

According to our downloads page at http://www.e-smith.org/downloads/,
aarnet doesn't provide rsync. Try using the PlanetMirror rsync server instead.
(Note that rsync mirrors are listed in the third table -- those mirrors listed
in the first table provide ftp, but may not provide rsync.)

Cheers,

It does, and for au/nz only.
