#503 RSYNC over SSH doesn't LOG

[Nicola]

When using RSYNC over SSH the RSYNC LOG is not written in case of errors.

Using RSYNC without SSH it logs fine.

Hello,

please provide a detailed description how to reproduce this error to let me find the problem as fast as possible. I'm not familar with each feature that is possible. If you could provide a fix would also help, so i can be sure it works.

I used this command from the console of windows:
rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete -e "ssh -l test -i ./id_dsa -p 22" "/cygdrive/C/test/" "test@192.168.1.10::test"

But i received an error because forgot to set someting.
I looked in the RSYNC log and was empty!

So i tried the same command but without the SSH tunnel:
rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete "/cygdrive/C/test/" "test@192.168.1.10::test"

I got the same error in the client but now there is some messages also in the log.

After I corrected my mistake (chmod...) and tried both commands.
When I use the SSH nothing is added to RSYNC log. (the SSH log is fine)
This appens both in lan and wan.
The SSH is configured for the no password access, like Dan suggestions in the forum.

In the previous comment there is a typo, the command that use SSH sould read:

rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete -e "ssh -l test -i ./id_dsa -p 22" "/cygdrive/C/test/" "test@192.168.1.10:test"

the difference is the double :: at end.
It was only a typo here and doesn't affect the problem reported.
