CSF Rsync not working with csf enabled

1. check for clues in /var/log/lfd.log and /var/log/messages for your servers ips related entries

ldf dont show any ip relate both server
message show blocked ip but it's yesterday, today i try rsync comand again and dont see any blocked as yesterday.

2. check if either server ips are blocked in respective csf firewall via grep command

Yes, i added to both server.

 

when i add ip with this command

Code:

Adding 1.1.1.1 to csf.allow and iptables ACCEPT...
csf: IPSET adding [1.1.1.1] to set [chain_ALLOW]

 

Thanks, work like charm.

 

This is really old thread, but still usefull. I'd like to share my way to do this.
I rsynced between 2 dedicated ipv4s, so I think it's ok to open all ports.
Server1 cfs -ta server2IP 'time in seconds'
Server2 csf -ta server1IP 'time in seconds'
*Time is how long rule is active

After this, I scratched my head for a while.
No connection.
Until I remembered. I didn't use correct port.
So, on server1 rsync 'server2 sshport' and rsync is connected.
