noob here,
I'm trying to transfer a file using rsync from windows to linux. I have this code, but I'm getting an error
rsync -avz -e ssh C:\users\file.txt [email protected]:/var/dir
I get this error The source and destination cannot be both remote
And if I try
rsync -avz -e ssh /c/users/file.txt [email protected]:/var/dir
I get, No such file or directory
So, I think the problem is with the path of the file on the windows.. I've heard about cygwin but haven't really tried it
What can I do to get the path to work?
If you're using CygWin to rsync from the Windows box, the local file you want is almost certainly:
/cygdrive/c/users/file.txt
rather then:
/c/users/file.txt
