UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Hi ,

I tried :

Code:

/usr/bin/rsync -qpavzh --rsh="/usr/bin/sshpass -f '/usr/local/rsync/.info' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l username" username@myserver.com:/data/directory_to_sync/patch/file1.zip /data/directory_to_sync

1) /usr/bin/sshpass: No such file or directory
2) I need to copy on one zip file like in this case /data/directory_to_sync/patch/file1.zip , I donot want to sync the complete directory .

Yes, that is because you must set up all the right parameters.

You cannot just cut-and-paste my comment / example to you and expect it to work on your server with your userids, passwords, commands and paths.

You must install sshpass, set up your password, paths, etc. Do you not know that? You must read the messages (error messages) and configure your server youself.

I am surprised that you would not know this basic thing about working on a server.

You don't need to do the exact same command as me. I gave you only an example.

You need to learn what you are doing if you are going to be working on a server.

Hey, I have an idea..... maybe you could watch some YT videos on how to set up rsync on a server?

Code:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rsync

Then, you can learn first and ask questions here after you acquire some very basic knowledge.

Thanks

PS: You can user rsync to transfer a single file or an entire website.... but you need to learn these utilities yourself first.

Based on your questions and lack of basic server admin knowledge, I highly recommend you watch some YT video tutorials!

Also, you can enter rsync into the search bar at the top of this page and read myriad discussions on rsync here at unix.com.

I just did, and here are the results:

Cheers.

Hi ,

I fixed my code :

Code:

expect "sftp>"
 set timeout -1
 send "get $SOURCE_FILE $TARGET_DIR\r"

It works fine

There you go ... proving all things are possible if you apply your mind to the situation at hand.

In a parallel world there is a user on unix.com "Asad from India" who is using rsync .... and in another parallel universe the same user got angry and never logged in again.

All things are possible .... It's up to us.
