rsync error

Hello,

I have the game Ryzom, and there is an update script that has to be executed for patching. That script does the following:

rsync -rtzv --progress --stats www.ryzom.com::ryzom ./

I have rsync installed. This script works fine under Ubuntu. But now that I switched to Arch, I get the following error message:

rsync: failed to connect to www.ryzom.com (178.33.44.72): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(125) [Receiver=3.1.2]

I found on Duckduckgo that socket IO errors can happen when there is something wrong with SSL, but frankly I did not really understand what the people are talking about, because I am such a newbie.

Could please anyone who has an idea what could be going on help me out?

Thank you very much in advance.

Till

There should only be one : not two.

Re: rsync error

As bulletmark says, remove one of the colon characters -- two tells rsync that you're trying to connect directly to an rsync service on port 873 (which is unencrypted, and not available on the server for www.ryzom.com). Removing a colon to make it only a single character makes rsync connect over SSH (encrypted; port 22) then execute rsync on the remote side.

Re: rsync error

Thank you for your suggestions, but unfortunately when I remove a colon, it asks me for the password for t@www.ryzom.com where 't' is my linux username, not my Ryzom account name. The strange thing is that the script works on Ubuntu with two colons. Maybe it is about that I use an old 32-bit computer and that I had to manually install a bunch of lib32-packages for the game to be executable (I know lib32s are usually used the opposite way, to use 32bit software on 64bit machines, but strangely that works for me)?
