* rsync
** TODOs
*** TODO rsync one file (or directory?) from notnull@serge to notnull@host
at this point I still have no idea how to do this. closing for now.
** notes
A method for copying files from one [remote] location to another [local] location.
rsync -aP serge:2222/projex/proto .
rsync -v -aP 216.252.162.166:2222/projex/proto .
^ this hung and did nothing.
I'm super confused.
So... so far, you added ~/.ssh/config with info for 127.0.0.1 p 2222 .... but then tried to add keys to /root?? what does that have to do with rsync?
Yes, bad example, ust what i did to not need to enter my password everytime. However with a passphrase for that key it's that much of an improvement.. Trying to be less confusing now.
if rsync is based on ssh, then notnull@host should add her keys to /home/notnull/.ssh/authorized_keys and then host:/home/notnull/.ssh/config should be set up with serge's info and then rsync should happen there, yah?
That's good to allow access to this host for your user w/o password butboth aren't necessary for rsync to work. It's just easier to define the port that way. Also less typing every time..
If rsycn is based on ssh, and if I can ssh into serge at /home/notnull, then I should be able to rsync something in notnull's home directory.
The issue is the port i bet.
So.... then... can we agree that it's not 'just' rsync -v -aP 216.252.162.166:2222/projex/proto . ??
I am trying to read the manual and there are 43563457365 options and I just want to know how to rsync to a remote host with a port and a folder. it's super annyoing.
Something is at odds here:
rsync -aP rsync://216.252.162.166:2222/projex/proto .
rsync: server sent "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.4p1 Debian-10+deb9u4" rather than greeting
real quick: do you know how to open man pages with another editor?
change the pager ('apropos pager')
notnull@host:~$ apropos pager
pager (1) - opposite of more
sensible-pager (1) - sensible editing, paging, and web browsing
w3m (1) - a text based web browser and pager
lol what?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 22 2018 /usr/bin/pager -> /etc/alternatives/pager
or zless|emacs|nano|w3m /usr/share/man/..
