We've been using s3sync for months now - it's a great script. Thanks for the hard work.

I have seen this error occur a few times recently as well. I am using v1.2.4, executing the following command:

Code:

s3sync.rb -v --ssl  -r /backups/daily server-backups:

A sample error message:

Sync Complete.

I've just upgraded to v1.2.5 but as far as I can tell this new version includes the no md5 option with no other fixes.

I found this thread: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=11975#45396, where greg says:

The first one seems self-explanatory.  I'm not catching connection resets.

Greg, would it be possible to implement a fix so if this error occurs, the sync script attempts to retry (as it does when it encounters 500 Internal Server errors)?

Thanks.

Good catch. 

Version 1.2.6
Catch connect errors and retry.

Thanks Ferrix,

I've upgraded to 1.2.6 and it seems to work fine, although I've been unable to replicate the "Connection reset by peer" error, so it's hard to verify that your fix solves the problem. For now I'll assume it works.
