It will not work for me.
Authored by: uhlhorn2 on May 26, '06 07:44:30AM
I've tried this:
rsync -avc "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/iWeb_upload/Website/" "user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:AgenturALT/Website/"
(for "user" i use the user name, and for "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" I use the real IP)

But it will not work. I got this:

PowerBook-Gerhard-Uhlhorn:~ gerhard$ rsync -avc rssh "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/iWeb_upload/Website/" "user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:AgenturALT/Website/"
Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx maps to kundenserver.de, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT!
user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password: 

This account is restricted by rssh.
Allowed commands: sftp 

If you believe this is in error, please contact your system administrator.

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-24/rsync/io.c(359)
PowerBook-Gerhard-Uhlhorn:~ gerhard$


What is the problem?

This looks like an issue with the machine your DNS on your computer. The host you are communicating with is checking whether the IP number you are sending from, matches the name it looks up to (and then is backchecking that name). Its a security check to make sure its not an IP spoof. But this could be getting you depending on how your ISP is set up. I'd send a copy to your webhost support with out the IP xxx'd out, and see if they agree - you may then need to go to your ISP and see if you can get a valid hostname assigned to your IP.
