RSYNC issue ; for tech guys ( pic for lurkers.. lol) - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, a bit of a technical issue ... Don't expect much of a solution, but maybe....

Rsync issue :

I have server A ( big site ) , server B ( various sites ) , server C ( no sites ).
I want to transfer server A ( big site ) to server C, using rsync ( rsync -av -e sss username@oldserverhost:/home/old_home/ /home/new_home/ )

When I start rsync on server C to import A, I get this error :

ssh: connect to host 111.111.11.11 port 22: Connection timed out
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(453) [receiver=2.6.9]

So, I want to see if Rsync works on C, so I run an import from B.... Works fine.
Seems that rsync works on C. Let see if it works on A?
So I star on A a rsync to import from B.... Works fine.

But the actual Rsync from A to C doesn't work...

The site is a bit over 100 gigs, so I don't feel to do ftp....

Make sure your host has ssh running on port 22 and that it's not firewalled. The problem isn't rsync, it's that you can't connect to the remote server.

I am the host ...

But I can connect to the remote server from another server .... If I couldn't from any server, then I could deduct that it is a connection problem of server A ...

Will try to change the port that ssh uses...

-e sss
you mean -e ssh, right?

also what are the ssh logs on the remote machine saying? it looks from the rsync errors, that the connection is being established, but the hadnshake is failing.

also is dns resolving correctly on all servers? ssh timeouts can happen if ssh is setup in the conf file to reverse dns each conenction, and the ssh host dns is failing for some reason...

LOL... ssh was used .. typo error here.

I can ssh into that server no problem. Issue commands, make folders, etc... I can also Rsync into it from another server....
Very annoying....
Maybe I will rsync A to server B, then Rsync again B to server C ... Will take about 20-25 hours.,...

Logs on the remote are not showing an error .... but I will check them again.
Thx.
