[Techtalk] rsync problem copying directory from local machine to server

[k.clair]

Well, the remote machine did have rsh enabled at xinetd, and the
firewall was not blocking those packets (other machines were able to use
rsync to connect to the remote machine without using -e ssh).

So it must have been blocked on the local machine?

- 
- I know this was last year and all but...
- 
- If the remote machine has disabled rsh (either at firewall or at (x)inetd
- level) will rsync fail in this fashion or will you get a "connection
- refused" instead.  Adding "-e ssh" stops any use of rsh and gets through
- immediately...
