Re: RSYNC problem - error in IPC code


Found the problem. It was ZoneAlarm firewall. It didn't recognize rsync
as an actual program and automatically blocked access. Strange.

Thanks!!
Andrey.

Then I think it means your ssh transport is fine but your rsync service
daemon is not started on paco.

rsync normally uses port 873

The link has info about using rsync over ssh, do a find for ssh on the
page

Hi Jean-Claude,

I'm not quite understanding the connection between rsync and telnet.
I'm not planning to use telnet, I want to use rsync over ssh.
Rsync is not even working for local transfers - same error.

Here's the output from the command prompt:

Rsync is not working regardless of connection, it gives the same error

And, as I said, I don't even have /home/lapo directory on my computer.

I meant you open a DOS prompt on the windows machine and type
telnet linuxmachinename 22

With that you'll see if the TCP connection can be established or not.

Telnet?

I can SSH into localhost or the remote hosts no problem.

The remote host (Linux) rsync works fine:
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jan 28 11:16 test
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jan 28 11:16 test2
root@paco:~/test# rsync -ar test test2

The windows/cygwin box is the one that is giving error. I don't think
it's another host's configuration that's the problem.

admin@n:~/rsync# rsync test test2
rsync: pipe: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14)
at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/pipe.c(117)

local -> local should copy just fine, anyway.

I don't even have /home/lapo directory. Any ideas what it's talking
about?

Thanks,
Andrey.

I think the IPC (inter-process-comm) error is being reported because of
the first reported error; connection refused.
It means that you are reaching the host, but there is no process bound
to that port.


I suggest you telnet to the host.
Ex
	telnet test 22

If it connects but then proceeds no further there IS a process listening
on the port.
else if telnet immediately reports a connection error then there is NO
process on the host listening at port 22.

If the daemon process IS started but is unreachable, it is not
authorized to listen for connections on port 22 on the interface your
connection is coming in on. (localhost-only)

If the daemon is NOT started on the host, check the host's config.

This one is trickier because service invocation methods can be quite
different between linux distributions.

Greetings,

I'm having a problem with rsync. I want to sync my Windows box to a Linux server using rsync and I get the following error when I try to do any command. Remote or local.

admin@n:~/rsync# rsync -a test test2
rsync: pipe: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/pipe.c(117)
(test and test2 are local folders in ~/rsync directory, remote gives the same error)


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrey.
