Its a normal scenario, when u access machine B from machine A, any utility you
are using like ssh, rsync, or what machine B is acting as server for u.... so on client
side simple rsync is installed, on server side u have to use some rsync-server package is
required.

Hi Les
I am trying to use rsync
1/ Are both machine to have rsync installed?
2/ machine A#rsync -essh machineB:/ .
I try this command but what wrong I am
rsync -essh root@machineB:/ .
skipping directory /.
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify
some filenames or the --recursive option?
Thank you for your help
