So I'm trying to do a one-off rsync to copy a directory from one computer on my local network to another. ssh isn't necessary in this instance.
I tried using (while in the destination dir on the destination computer):
rsync -avzh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/path/to/remote/dir/ .
...as root on the local system, but when I get prompted for the root@remotecomputer password, it doesn't accept it. I know it's the right password.
What am I doing wrong?
