You don't run rsyncd at all. Rather use it like

export RSYNC_RSH=ssh rsync -avH --partial --delete source_dir user@host:remote_dir

rsync will launch ssh and execute rsync --server on the remote side.

Ok I could be misreading but my understanding was on the remote server you had to have "rsync server" listening for this to happen. Am I out of track do I need more caffeine :-) Thanks -- Togan Muftuoglu
