rsync failing - No such file or directory

[Tim2525]

Hi All,

Attempting to run rsync but getting "no such file or directory" message. What looks like is happening is solaris is removing the "space" between ../db2_backup and db2inst1@enolagay.. As a result rsync creates a new dir on the same box with the files in it. Not sure what to do. VERY new to unix and rsync.

bash-2.03$ rsync -e ssh -av /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/* db2inst1@enolagay: /export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup
building file list ... rsync: link_stat "/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup/db2inst1@enolagay:" failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

Any pointers most appreciated.

There should not be a space between "db2inst1@enolagay:" and "/export/home/db2inst1/db2_backup".
