Re: [PLUG] rsync over SSH problems

You seem to be trying to tell rsync to use ssh, but the proper way to specify that is:

--rsh=ssh

-e ssh

(which is what is done in the link you reference, ssh follows the e option in that command)

as an option. In your case, you have in your command simply "ssh" which it treats as a folder. Change "ssh" to --rsh=ssh or -e ssh and it should work.

OK, why isn't it? :-) That looks like the examples I see about sending
a file via SSH using rsync:

Example:
rsync -avzhe ssh backup.tar root@192.168.0.100:/backups/
< http://www.tecmint.com/rsync-local-remote-file-synchronization-commands/ >

So what should it be?

This is working, but it's more than slightly ugly:

$ sudo ssh <DMZ-user@DMZ-IP>'ls /tmp' && rsync -rvzhqpog
--log-file=/tmp/rsync.log --remove-source-files /my-area/
<DMZ-user@DMZ-IP>:/my-area/

I'm establishing an SSH connection, executing an ls (just so it does
something), and then does an rsync. This is working fine.
