hi

so uh often i've run into this error and

it's very confusing so i thought i could

make a quick video

um explaining how i fixed it so

basically

here we can see a screen where i run

rsync

and this uh this is a script i have here

there's like copy to production and

internally it's just calling rsync to my

server

um the thing is this was always working

and suddenly one day it stopped working

right

uh with this error like broken pipe

i thought maybe there's not enough space

on the device maybe there's other

problems

but i found a very simple way to correct

it

so basically um what you have to do

is you would have like rsync and all

your

all your options in my case it looks

like something like this

it looks like something like this and

then like the

the folder that i'm copying like local

and then the remote like example

at example.com

the remote folder

so basically what the only thing you

need to do to fix this

is uh if the versions of the server and

the client are different

you can add here one parameter so let's

check if the if the versions are

different first

and basically this very easy is just our

same version and i know on the server i

have 3.1.3

because i run this before there so this

is the

the error right probably the server

updated automatically or i created a new

instance or something like this and it

has a new version

so it's because of this protocol version

that this doesn't work

so as i was saying before the only thing

we need to do

to fix this is to add a parameter and

the parameter is

protocol so it will just look like

something like this you can have here

any option this is an example

so here it would continue but the

important thing is that here you can

specify

this protocol and i set it to 20

and on the server the 3.1 1.3

um another option would be to update the

version but

because i'm the person that i am on

ubuntu

doesn't allow a later version of rsync

so that's why i opted for this option

so these are a quick solution and this

will make it work and once you

you fix this you can see that the

that the sync works correctly so i hope

it's useful

and yeah see you soon
