This is a pretty vague question... The severity of the error you have may range from irrelevant to catastrophic, and it is impossible to assess without the context of what you are doing. What user is login to the remote computer? Does that user have rights to that filesystem? What user is in the local box? What directories are you rsync(ing). Whatever the answer is, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that you have a 'user error'... ;-) ET Michael writes: > I was trying to backup my system for the first time and rsync is throwing a > permission denied error up.
