The trick for me was I had ssh conflict   I have Git installed on my Windows path  which includes ssh  cwrsync also installs ssh   The trick is to have make a batch file to set the correct paths   rsync bat   echo off SETLOCAL SET CWRSYNCHOME c  commands cwrsync SET HOME c  Users Petah  SET CWOLDPATH  PATH  SET PATH  CWRSYNCHOME  bin  PATH    dp0 cwrsync bin rsync exe      On Windows you can type where ssh to check if this is an issue  You will get something like this   where ssh C  Program Files  x86  Git bin ssh exe C  Program Files cwRsync ssh exe

I had this problem  but only when I tried to rsync from a Linux  RH  server to a Solaris server   My fix was to make sure rsync had the same path on both boxes  and that the ownership of rsync was the same   On the linux box  rsync path was  usr bin  on Solaris box it was  usr local bin   So  on the Solaris box I did ln -s  usr local bin rsync  usr bin rsync   I still had the same problem  and noticed ownership differences  On linux it was root root  on solaris it was bin bin  Changing solaris to root root fixed it

I had this error coming up between 2 Linux boxes   Easily solved by installing RSYNC on the remote box as well as the local one

This error message probably means that you either mistyped the server name or forgot to start an ssh server at server  Make absolutely certain that an ssh server is running on the server at port 22  and that it s not firewalled  You can test that with ssh user server

I saw this when changing rsync versions  In the older version  it worked to say   rsync -e  ssh      when the rsync exe and ssh exe were in the same directory   With the newer version  I had to specify the path   rsync -e    ssh      and it worked
