Hi,

I want to copy all the files from an ftp server and thought, I'd use
rsync but got following:

A) Many people who host files will regard this an an abuse and will cut
you off.
b) rsync is NOT ftp. You can use rsync ONLY if they support rsync. You
cannot use rsync on an ftp server.


reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ rsync --delete -avzr
USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/www.quaaoutlodge.com/web/content/ .
quaaoutlodge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: protocol version
mismatch -- is your shell clean? (see the rsync man page for an
explanation) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at
compat.c(174) [Receiver=3.0.8]

So I did a
reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ rsh
USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /bin/true > out.dat
quaaoutlodge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: and what I get is:
reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ cat out.dat sftpsh:
Command not allowed.

What does that mean exactly? How else can I duplicate all the files and
directories from the ftp?

Go and transfer the files one by one to your machine.



Thanks,

Why can't you just create a backup.tar.gz, download it and uncompress it
once you have it?
