To establish a backup between a local file server and a remote webspace (with ssh and rsync access) I wanted to use rsync.
With the command
rsync -aPv -e "ssh -vv IonosSB" --delete /volume1/fff/sss/ u12345678@home123456789.hostdomain.host:aaa/fff/sss
I receive the error message:
...
bash: home123456789.hostdomain.host: command not found

rsync error: remote command not found (code 127) at io.c(254) [sender=3.1.2]
The file ~/.ssh/config has the following content:
Host IonosSB
HostName home123456789.hostdomain.host
User u12345678
Port 22
IdentityFile /volume1/Data/System/keys/abcdef.key
This works fine with ssh, entering ssh IonosSB successfully initiates a session on the remote server without entering password.
Manual usage of rsync also works fine:
rsync -aPv --delete /volume1/fff/sss/ u12345678@home123456789.hostdomain.host:aaa/fff/sss
successfully runs the synchronization after manually entering the password.
So
- ssh works with config definition using certificate and not asking for password
- rsync works without ssh config using manual password input
- rsync fails using ssh config with certificate
So far, I have no clue where to look to find reason and cure. Any help appreciated.
