I have gotten an Rsync daemon set up on my Linux server. But I want to use my Windows XP computer to upload files to an Rsync module on the server. The problem is, Rsync won't work on my Windows computer. I have tried compiling various versions of Rsync in Cygwin, and nothing works. It's not a firewall problem, because I have disabled my firewall and tried to Rsync, and it still won't work. Even the Rsync client from the Cygwin installer program won't work. The only client I found that works is the 2.5.5 client that comes with WINRsync (http://winrsync.sunsite.dk/) and I assume that that is "fixed". So, I was wondering, can anyone help me solve my problem? Other people have gotten Rsync working in Cygwin....

Does rsync compile successfully? Does it install successfully? If so, what happens when you run rsync? What command line are you using, and what error message do you get (if any)? Please send the daemon's configuration file, too. Matt
