I just got a refurbished computer with ubuntu 8.04 installed. I \'m trying 
to use rsync -a to copy files from my backup to this machine. What am I 
doing wrong? 

administrator at administrator-desktop:~$ sudo rsync -a 
192.168.0.3:/bckupdrv/docs2bckup
[sudo] password for administrator:
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(454) [receiver=2.6.9]
administrator at administrator-desktop:~$ sudo rsync -a 
192.168.0.3:/bckupdrv/docs2bckup /home/administrator
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(454) [receiver=2.6.9]
administrator at administrator-desktop:~$ ping 192.168.0.3

Both machines have openssh-client and openssh-server installed.
