I'm trying to figure out how I can rsync to backup some remote files..
On the "server" I have created a /usr/local/etc/rsync.conf file with
motd file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
[web]
path = /files/web
comment = web backups
uid = gerald
gid = operator
read only = no
list = yes
max connections = 2
auth users = gerald,freymann
secrets file = /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 10.0.0.1
(the 10.0.0.1 is for example purposes only, but is the remote IP)
In the /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets files is:
gerald:passwd
and I'm running Rsync in --daemon mode.
Now, on the remote system, when I execute:
cd /web
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh *.php gerald@myhost.com:web
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh *.pl gerald@myhost.com:web
it copies the files but into a web directory in the home directory of user
gerald. It's not using the "web" nickname in the rsync.conf file and
putting the files into /files/web where I want them ('cause that's a
larger partition).
Any ideas?
