Re: Rsync problem - still unsolved

So what was the point of this thread?

Seems that in your newsclient the thread starts with my message from the
9.3.2006.

My client shows my message from the 22.2.06
43fc37b6$0$12384$3b214f66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
as first posting of the thread, where i tried to expain my problem.

I just wanted to reactive this old thread, because someone willing to help me could think this problem is already out of date in our fast living world.
Starting a new thread with exactly the same topic just a few weeks later seemed to me like spamming. Adding an other message to an old thread seemed to me ok.

============================================
Anyhow: Once again the description of my Problem


I'm not an network expert.

In our Institut i was able to use rsync with ssh for backup my data from PC to linux server. Since we got a new server (new hardware & new IP) the ssh version has changed from ssh1 to ssh2. To access the server I have to use a vpn-client (Cisco VPN-Client 4.0.3).

I'm still able to get an ssh2 connection (only with keyboard-interactive authentication which is ok for me). rsync is installed on the server as well. But when i try to use rsync with ssh2 i fail. (See my tries below.)

SSH - version on server:
-------------------------
user@server~$ openssl version -a

OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/lib/ssl"

I tried to use

- plink.exe (putty) as a well known client and
- ssh2.exe ("SSH Secure Shell" Version 3.2.0 (Build 267) by SSH Communucations Security Corp.) because of its comprehensive debugging information

as SSH-client.

Please see my tries below.



Thank you in advance for every help,
Bernd

PS.:
I've looked at man rsync,
I've googled
I've studied especially
- http://www.samba.org/rsync/
- http://www.snailbook.com/faq/
I've tried many hours by my own to get this working,
but failed.
