Hi.

Possibly of some interest.

The ISP may have been talking about not running an rsync server, the daemon, rsyncd. An ISP that I once used was in the same condition.

As I recall, I compiled rsync at that ISP, and then used that local copy of rsync in my account on the ISP to communicate with my local workstation copy. Look over the rsync man page, especially at the section "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM".

I no longer have that account, so regrettably I cannot give you any more details. If you have access to the gcc compiler suite and libraries on the ISP, then you may be able to do what I had done. Of course, you'll need the rsync source as well: rsync .

This may not have been clear due to normal mental fog of elapsed time for me -- perhaps an expert will drop by and offer additional details or alternate solutions.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

rdiff

rdiff(1)						      General Commands Manual							  rdiff(1)

NAME

       rdiff - compute and apply signature-based file differences

SYNOPSYS

       rdiff [options] signature old-file signature-file

       rdiff [options] delta signature-file new-file delta-file

       rdiff [options] patch basis-file delta-file new-file

USAGE

       You  can  use  rdiff  to  update  files, much like rsync does.  However, unlike rsync, rdiff puts you in control.  There are three steps to
       updating a file: signature, delta, and patch.

DESCRIPTION

       In every case where a filename must be specified, - may be used instead to mean either standard input or standard  output  as  appropriate.
       Be aware that if you do this, you'll need to terminate your options with -- or rdiff will think you are passing it an empty option.

RETURN VALUE

       0  for successful completion, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid options, IO error, etc), 2 for a corrupt file and 3 for
       an internal error or unhandled situation in librsync or rdiff.

SEE ALSO

       librsync(3)

       The original rsync algorithm was discovered by Andrew Tridgell.

       rdiff development has been supported by Linuxcare, Inc and VA Linux Systems.
