Please state the nature of your rsync emergency.

ok..

as user "test" on the local machine. there's a test on the remote as well
each local/remote has the dir /home/test/cat, and /home/test/cat1
all dirs are owned by user 'test' and have '777' to make sure no weird errs
happen due to owner/perms

this works:
rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  /home/test/cat1

this doesn't
rsync -avz  /home/test/cat  test@192.168.125.133:/home/test/cat

generates error::
test@192.168.125.133's password:
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/home/ /home/test" failed: No such file or directory (2)

sent 18 bytes  received 12 bytes  5.45 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]

unless rsync cant be used with ssh/password.. can't figure out why this is
failing

Not a good idea.

a. You do not want things world-writable, ever.
b. You need to learn how to deal with things that are not world-
writeable, by fixing *that* problem.

man rsync (scroll down, down, down, down ... :-) )

has exit status codes.

so what was yours ?

echo $?

directly after the rsync command run will show the exit code

[bruce]

by the way....

from the remote VM.. back to the local..

this works..

rsync -avz test@192.168.1.45:/home/test/cat /home/test/cat
