Hi,

I am trying to rsync through ssh to a Solaris 8 machine. The firewall is
configured to let in port 22 (ssh) only. I see the following:

bash2.05 ahoesch@localhost ~ % rsync -avz -e ssh
/Users/ahoesch/Downloads/postfix/postfix-1.1.11.tar.gz
root@62.154.134.74:/usr/src
rsync: open connection using ssh -l root <ip-address> rsync --server
-vlogDtprz . /usr/src
root@<ip-address>'s password:
rsync: Command not found.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-8.1/rsync/io.c(140)

I can rsync succssfully to a local and equally configured machine except
the firewall. Do I need to open any more ports for rsync to work? I
checked the firewall log but no attempt is logged at all.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Regards,

    Andreas
