why the explicit rsh?
- adrian_b 6y agoThe rsync option --rsh="command_name" or -e "command_name" is required to be certain that "ssh" is used for the transfers. The rsync program might have been compiled to use "ssh" even if you do not use the --rsh= or -e options, but you cannot know this for sure (unless you have compiled it yourself and you have read the sources to verify that).
