received request to transfer non-regular file: 38511 [receiver]

Can you tell me what this suggests?

  • Does this message repeat when you try again?  If so, then it means this file is not a regular file (such as a device file or a unix socket). Unfortunately, this message is generated by the remote rsync and it only includes the index of the file (38511), not the file name.  You may be able to find out by excluding some subdirectories.
