Rsync files from another server

Hi,

I have a task to copy a website from one server to another, this need to be done via Rsync.

What is the command to copy all files under a folder from one server to another WITHOUT having to install Rsync Daemon on the source server?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I do have this but its not working. I get a connection timed out error.

rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 65200' 
username@oldserverhost:/home/old_home/ /home/new_home/

Code (markup):

Thanks

Hi

Try below example

rsync -r :/home/sahab/ /home/test

 

I guess that is to restore a saved rsync backup from a rsync server..
I only want rsync to connect to the source server (that does not have rsync daemon) and copy files under a folder to a folder on the target server.

 

Thanks for your reply shawn, never new you would reply to my thread!!

I understand what you mean about Rsync.

Ill check on example of SCP and try it out , thanks again !
