I have tried to create a soft link file to point to the directory or file in the current directory, this time the client to synchronize the data is no problem, but what is the point root@master1/mnt# rsync -avzLP --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets [email protected]::sunwenbo/3333 . receiving incremental file list

Hi,

I think your problem is that you're using options which should not be used together:

-a translates to -rlptgoD

So in fact you have -l and -L, which the man page says:

       --links, -l              copy symlinks as symlinks
       --copy-links, -L         transform symlink into referent file/dir

To use both of these doesn't make any sense IMHO.

你好，

我认为你的问题是你使用的选项不应该一起使用：

-a翻译为-rlptgoD

所以实际上你有 -l 和 -L，手册页上说：

       --links, -l              copy symlinks as symlinks
       --copy-links, -L         transform symlink into referent file/dir

恕我直言，使用这两者没有任何意义。

问候， 西蒙 Thank you for your reply! After receiving your reply, it is indeed the problem you said. Now I want to synchronize the soft connection file of rsync server to my client. What combination parameters should I use?

[realsimix]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but you may use one of the two below:

-avzP
-rLptgoDvzP

They do almost the same but the first copies symlinks as symlinks and the second resolves the symlink and copies the referenced file instead.

[sunwenbo]

According to your prompt information, I use the following two methods, but there are still problems

[realsimix]

Does the file /tmp/sunwenbo-test exist and is readable by the rsync daemon on the source system?

[sunwenbo]

The file does exist, but in the /tmp directory, the path to my rsync.conf module is as follows

[sunwenbo]

Is it because the /tmp/sunwenbo-test directory is not in the module of the rsync.conf configuration file?

[realsimix]

I'm quite sure rsync in daemon mode won't allow you to fetch a file which is outside your module. That would be a security problem because you can then just create symlinks to files where you don't have access to.

[realsimix]

This is discussed here https://rsync.samba.org/security.html

Thanks again for your support, so the conclusion is that the soft link file I want to copy must also be inside the rsync daemon module, is that right

[realsimix]

I think so, yes.

[sunwenbo]

thank you~
