Re: rsync error... can i ask for help here??

Generally speaking, when your destination directory is within the home directory of the destination user, you would not specify full path, as in:

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  test@192.168.125.133:cat

Also, you probably don't want to copy the directory into a directory of the same name, so your command would probably more appropriately be one of these:

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat/ test@192.168.125.133:cat

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  test@192.168.125.133:

ok..

as user "test" on the local machine. there's a test on the remote as well

each local/remote has the dir /home/test/cat, and /home/test/cat1

all dirs are owned by user 'test' and have '777' to make sure no weird errs happen due to owner/perms

this works:

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  /home/test/cat1

this doesn't

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  test@192.168.125.133:/home/test/cat

generates error::

test@192.168.125.133's password:
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/home/ /home/test" failed: No such file or directory (2)

sent 18 bytes  received 12 bytes  5.45 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]

unless rsync cant be used with ssh/password.. can't figure out why this is failing

Please state the nature of your rsync emergency.
