What that says is that you are trying to rsync *from* your local copy *to* the copy at ibiblio. Fortunately for all of us you won't have permissions to do that.

You need to place the ibiblio URL *before* the local file name you want as the destination of the transfer.

I think you should also be using rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso as the source URL.

that's an excellent security measure against "experienced newbies" like me

Thanks Charlie, for your help.

Actually the comand line I finally wrote was:
rsync -avvp --stats rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .
and seems to be working at least for now.....

Thanks again!!!
