[SOLVED] rsync and torsocks error: connection refused (111) and error in socket IO (code 10)

rsync and torsocks error: connection refused (111) and error in socket IO (code 10)

I wanted to download some files from tor (.onion site) with rsync and torsocks with this command (I'm on Linux):

torsocks rsync rsync://root@snatchvwddns6zto.onion/targets/perceptics.com/

and it returns back the error:

1560930992 PERROR torsocks[13894]: socks5 libc connect: Connection refused (in socks5_connect() at socks5.c:202)
rsync: failed to connect to snatchvwddns6zto.onion (127.42.42.0): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(127) [Receiver=3.1.3]

And the onion site snatchvwddns6zto.onion/targets/perceptics.com/ is fully functional

Already changed the port of the torsocks.conf file to the same port that tor is already on (9051) and still didn't work. Even when trying to authenticate:

echo -e 'AUTHENTICATE "passwordhere"\r\nsignal NEWNYM\r\nQUIT' | nc 127.0.0.1 9051

it returns:

(UNKNOWN) [127.0.0.1] 9051 (?) : Connection refused

torsocks.conf:

TorAddress 127.0.0.1
TorPort 9150

Does someone know how to solve does errors?

Solution

You can also expose the SSH port instead of the rsync one and do something like:

torify rsync -e "ssh -p 9051" root@snatchvwddns6zto.onion:targets/perceptics.com/ ./
