Hello Wayne, I just upgraded the HP-UX 11.00 and the RedHat 9 box to rsync 2.6.2 I get the following errors and I do not understand why I get them or how to solve this problem. $ rsync -aczvvvvvvvvvvv -e --rsh "/bin/sh" /rsync/shipping/*.dbf orau1m@agflo> cmd=--rsh machine=agflog25 user=orau1m path=/bucket/agfsap19/inbound cmd=--rsh agflog25 -l orau1m rsync --server - vvvvvvvvvvvlogDtprcz . /bucket/agfs ap19/inbound opening connection using --rsh agflog25 -l orau1m rsync --server - vvvvvvvvvvvlog Dtprcz . /bucket/agfsap19/inbound Failed to exec --rsh : No such file or directory rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c (86) (Client) Protocol versions: remote=1769497951, negotiated=28 protocol version mismatch - is your shell clean?

The options -e and --rsh are the same option, so using "-e --rsh" tells rsync that you want to run the program "--rsh" as your remote shell. Just use one or the other.
