File-name is file which contains details of servername,host,source & destination.

Now server has changed and it is giving connection refused error.What i have to do.

error is:

updating <servername>
<servername>:Connection refused.

the server only accepts sftp & ssh.

How can i rdist to this server with out any problem? Is there any way.

I did some investigation on net.I found that rdist normally uses rsh.But i need rdist via ssh.

to do this it depends on version & need to configure something.

Any body let me know how to find my rdist version.(I didn't find the version of it)

Since i don't have permission to configure,How can i publish files using rdist via ssh .

rdist is part of the r-family of commands, like rlogin, rcp, rsh.

The r-family is INSECURE.

The administrator of the other machine, with good reason, doesn't like this and therefore only accepts SECURE methods like ssh and sftp.

No way you get this done unless the administrator of the other system gives up his policy of allowing only secure methods.

The alternative is to build your own tool, which works similar like rdist and uses scp instead.
