Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why using a cygwin compiled version of rsync [both
the cwRsync distribution and the deltacopy distribution] are prompting the user
for an inbound firewall exception on Windows [testing on Win7]. I'm not
doing anything fancy, just pushing out to a remote through ssh [rsync.exe
local_path user at server.com:/absolute/remote path]. Everything works fine even
if I deny the entry through the firewall - which you'd expect. Even if I
operate only on local paths I still am prompted for the firewall exception.
1. What is the reason rsync is opening a port? Is this some odd artifact of a
cygwin compilation?
2. Can I disable this behavior without a custom patch?
I ask because I'm trying to cleanly wrap the program for novice end users
and the firewall prompt is confusing & disconcerting.
Thanks!
-Jeff
