Rsync: failed to connect to : Operation timed out (60) Synchronizing local ports tree from rsync:///release/ports/ĭEBUG: /usr/bin/rsync -rtzv -delete-after rsync:///release/ports/ /opt/local/var/macports/sources//release/ports If you want to sync a remote directory structure or file from or to your remote edge devices this can be easily achieved with rsync. Question: is there that you know any way to use macports without rsync? or to set some rsync options so that it may run over a safe-looking protocol like ssh, so the proxy won't kick in?ĭEBUG: Rebuilding the MacPorts base system if needed. No question of disabling the proxy - our security does not allow. I believe that is because cvs relies on ssh while rsync uses lower-level security and our proxy disables it.

It fails not only with ports - whatever otehr application uses rsync it does not work.Ĭvs instead runs smooth. It seems to me that there is no way to use rsync from behind a firewall. There is only the firewall - no other applications like PeerSomething. I tried to do whatever is possible in the system preferences to disable the firewall. Generally I get the apps I want by other methods however, I'd like to use MacPorts. At the office, no way, it is a lot of time I try. There is a firewall (proxy) in place there. The problem shows up on my office computer. I copy the listing below just for the record. I know it is not technically a bug of MacPorts. Hi, I've seen the problem already but no solution.
