rsync command

Please read this:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-use-rsync-transfer-mirror-files-directories.html

The problem is that you have incorrectly described the target machine in the following format:

<HOSTNAME>@<IP ADDRESS>

whereas you should define the target as:

<ALLOWED USERNAME>@<IP ADDRESS OF REMOTE HOSTNAME>:~

So you put the hostname where you should have put the username that is allowed to access the remote host 192.168.1.109

So try this command instead:

rsync -v -e ssh /Desktop/error.txt <username>@192.168.1.109:~

but where you replace <username> with the username you have granted access to host 192.168.1.109

Please note that the symbol ~ indicates the user's home directory on the remote server.

grsync is a handy GUI for rsync

thanks mark and actionparsnip for the reply

pc2@192.168.1.109's password:
rsync: change_dir "/Desktop" failed: No such file or directory (2)

rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]
