Hey,
I'm trying to sync a folder from a remote server to my computer, when I try to connect with rsync I'm prompted for a password, then get the following error,
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(173) [Receiver=3.0.7]
I'm thinking (and please correct me if I'm wrong here) this is because I'm have rsync version 3.0.7 on my computer and the server has version 2.6.8.
I can't do anything about the server's version, so how do I downgrade rsync on my computer to version 2.6.8? Also, is doing this a really bad idea?
Thanks
