my target is to copy /tmp/my_file from 10.10.10.1 to my Linux machine without login and password , I set the passwords file with the right password - secret123 so rsync should work , please advice why I get Permission denied.

Remark - 10.10.10.1 address is linux machine version – red hat 5.3

   rsync -WavH --password-file=/tmp/passwords --progress [email protected]:/tmp/my_file .


   Permission denied.
   rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
   rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

   more /tmp/passwords

   ls -ltr  passwords
   -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 Sep 12 17:32 passwords
