Posted by david510, 09-16-2007, 02:58 AM Try this command. To copy /path/to/directory/file to /path/to/directory/ on remote server. rsync -avz -e ssh /path/to/directory/file root@domain.com:/path/to/directory/
Posted by foobic, 09-16-2007, 03:04 AM That appears to be a bug in rsync (but a very minor one) when you type just "rsync". As David suggests, use the full command: "rsync [options] source destination".
Posted by rkm11, 09-16-2007, 11:06 AM I'm attempting to run a PHP script that stores the daily backups for WHM to each of their days (folder under daily, monday, tuesday, wednesday...) When I run it (php -f 5day.php), I get the man page for rsync, and at the end: Thanks Ryan
Posted by foobic, 09-16-2007, 06:49 PM Take out the line breaks in your rsync commands. I suspect it's not going to do what you want though - do you really want to copy everything from the daily directory (including the daily/monday daily/wednesday etc. directories)?
Posted by rkm11, 09-16-2007, 07:14 PM Ah, dua Works. Yes, it does what it should, and as you described. How can I change this so it connects to a remote server and copies the files? I'm new to rsync. Thanks Ryan
Posted by foobic, 09-16-2007, 07:18 PM To connect automatically to a remote server you'll need to set up ssh access with keys. This is a good tutorial.
