Socket was closed unexpectedly

Dormi98
in Acrosync for Windows
Hello everyone!

I just installed acrosync 1.6 and i really hope to get this running, because it seeams to be the best solution for my backup problem. 

I am running a Windows Server 2008R2 in a computer center. The center provider offers a rsync server that can be used for backup. I don't know what kind of system is running on this rsync server. No ssh. 

So far I see two problems when I try to connect Acrosync with that rsync server

1. The remote directory browser window stays empty, although I know that there are directories in there. This happens no matter if I use the / or not. The log says:
rync command: rsync -server -sender -tude../

2. When I hit the Start Button (only works with / in the remote directory line) I get the Socket was closed unexpectedly after some seconds. 
The log says:

2018/01/19 11:39:51 RSYNC_START Uploading D:/Data/ to 
2018/01/19 11:39:52 RSYNC_COMMAND rsync command: rsync --server --modify-window=2 --log-format=%n --links --recursive --delete-during --inplace -tdne. . ""
2018/01/19 11:39:52 RSYNC_SOCKET Socket was closed unexpectedly

I also tried to connect a Linux VM to the rsync server.
The command 
rsync -avz --no-p /etc username@serverip::username
works perfectly on that VM so that data is synced

Thank's for your inputs

    If you enter / as the remote directory before clicking the remote browsing button, Acrosync will start from the root directory rather than the home directory and you should be able to see something there.  I think once you pick the right remote directory it should be able to sync.

    Thank you, but as I allready wrote:

    1. The remote directory browser window stays empty, although I know that there are directories in there. This happens no matter if I use the / or not.

    what is the syntax in that box? 
    /dir/dir
    or 
    dir/dir
    or 
    something elese?

    Sorry I forgot under the rsync daemon mode this listing behavior is different.

    You should check if the rsync server supports module listing by running this command on your Linux VM:

        rsync serverip::

    If not, the remote browsing would not work, but you can still specify the remote directory as /module/path.  I suspect for your rsync server the username is the module name.

    Your guess was correct. The username was the module name. 
    I perfectly can sync my files now. Great! I still got some problems with the scheduling, but this problem is solved
