I am trying to copy files from local Linux server to remote windows file server using rysnc and sshpass but getting error

code

rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/sshpass -p 'password' ssh -p 139 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l user' /x/y/z/ user@x.x.x.x:/a/b/c/

output

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.1]

Can anyone help?

Do you have rsync installed on the WIndows machine? It's not built-in. – Tim Roberts Jul 14 '22 at 04:23
can we install rsync in windows?? – khushi Jul 14 '22 at 04:29
Of course, but there are other alternatives, like `scp` or using `samba` to mount a Windows file share on your Linux system. – Tim Roberts Jul 14 '22 at 05:13
i want to copy files without mounting the server – khushi Jul 14 '22 at 05:19
Why? That is clearly the "Windows way" of handling this. – Tim Roberts Jul 14 '22 at 06:18
because after mounting, the folders has root as owner but I'm using Apache as user hence it is showing permission denied. – khushi Jul 14 '22 at 10:25
There are ways to deal with that. Samba wouldn't be much good without it. I'm just presenting another alternative. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/450629/mounting-smb-shares-without-root-permission – Tim Roberts Jul 14 '22 at 19:17
