Hi Linus,

Tested your email reply.  Same error:!!

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  test@192.168.125.133:
test@192.168.125.133's password:

rsync: change_dir "/home/test/ /home/test" failed: No such file or directory (2)

I'm grappling with trying to understand what rsync is doing/means regarding the "change_dir" failing

rsync: change_dir "/home/test/ /home/test" failed: No such file or directory (2)

the err is appearing to be regarding to something happening on the local machine as opposed to the remote.

thanks

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

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.
