rsync - Apr 2002 - Rsync server on w2k with ssh

Help !

I am running rsync as a service on w2k successfully
using the patch from http://v.iki.fi/~vherva/cygwin-rsync/

I would like to connect to the windows machine from Linux, to
automatically backup the windows machine without user intervention.

I understand that there are network problems using the native rsync
transport under windows.  How do I setup ssh with a w2k server?

I have the ssh .exes from http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/

	Thanks

	Martin Beckett

Why using a patched 2.4.2 when you have an official 2.5.5 build ready 
for you? =)
You can also install it directly frmo the cygwin's setup ( 
http://cygwin.com/setup.exe )

I use rsync with ssh on windows a lot.  I don't use the rsync server.
Instead I installed cygwin which can setup sshd as a service.  You use the
--rsh option with rsync to get it to tunnel over ssh.  It works very
reliably.

I do have to say though windows is a little slower at this piping than other
platforms.  Using a traffic analysis tool I noticed that the pipe is done by
having ssh connect to the rsync process it spans via a local TCP connection.
I can get speeds of up to about 600k/sec across a 100mb switch between two
windows machines.
