I am setting up rsync to synchronize files between two separated servers (A and B) in different networks, both running Solaris 10 OS. I am using --daemon.
Right now, I am able to get the module list of server B from server A, as well as downloading files from B to A. However when trying to upload files from A to B the process hangs.
Analysing the log files generated by rsync I can see that the connection between the servers is established but then lost.
Log file server A:
root# rsync -rltgD --progress testfile x.x.x.x::test/
building file list ...
1 file to consider
testfile
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
rsync: read error: Connection timed out (145)
rsync: error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(604) [sender=2.6.9]
Log file server B:
[4799] connect from UNKNOWN (x.x.x.x)
[4799] rsync to test/ from UNKNOWN (x.x.x.x)
[4799] receiving file list
[4657] rsync: read error: Connection timed out (145)
[4657] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(604) [receiver=2.6.9]
[4657] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453) [generator=2.6.9]
Permissions in the destination (Server B) are defined as chmod 777. Inetd is configured to allow rsync with anonymous access. I tried changing paths and ownership so it would be equal in both servers, no luck. I also matched the versions to 2.6.9 as well as using Virtual Machines and Physical machines, the problem remains. I also tried with different OS, namely CentOS and Windows 7 Professional. Using these rsync clients I can sync files with server B without any problem (these machines are in the same network as server B). I captured the packets of a successful synchronization between server B and the CentOS 6.7 machine and compared them with a failed synchronization between server B and server A, I reached the same conclusion drawn from the log files: the TCP and rsync connections are established, but the files are not transfered.
Any help regarding this problem is deeply appreciated. Best Regards.
