Topic: Rsync to non-SME server running rsync

[edb]

I want to use rsync from my SME 6.0.1 box to another Linux box over our private network.
I basically want to mirror the server over to the other box but I am having trouble with the syntax of the commands.
My syntax is as follows:

rsync -r /my/directory/to/copy/* 192.168.1.200::server/directory/to/copy/to

Here is the error I get:
[root@mail root]# rsync -r -av /plus/* 192.168.1.200::sharename/server1
building file list ... done
rsync: read error: Connection timed out
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(354)
[root@mail root]#

I can do it no problem from a Windows computer, running Sync2NAS:

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Anyone have any ideas?

Turns out it was a bad NIC on the receiving rsync server.

what did you do on smeserver for it to work.  I read that you need to add a rsync.conf.  Can you post it

Thank you

Because I am using my SME box as the client and backing up to a non-SME Linux box running rsyncd I didn't have to do anything except enter the right commands at the SME server prompt.

rsync -R -av /home/* rsync_server_IP::share/your_dir_name
