Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket The command I used was rsync -e ssh gas.exe 10.105.50.180:src/ It works like I said on NT4 and from my Linux pc. I have cygwin installed on the win98 and NT. Rsync is version 2.4.6 Is it just because Win9x SU**s? Also where can I get a list of environment variables that I can use? I didn't see a list of them in the MAN or readme. Thanks Thomas Lambert VP DSC Associates, Inc. thomas@dscassociates.com
