I want to get the IPs of all the destination devices where my data transfer using rsync could not be complete (or even start) as those devices are not connected to Internet or got disconnected while data transfer ...

My actual problem scenario is :

rsync -t Desktop/sony.pdf [email protected]: ssh: connect to host a.b.c.d port 22: No route to host

and I want the list of all such IPs where the data transfer could not be complted ...
