Hello,
I've been trying to get rsync to work in daemon mode between two win2k
boxes without success. The client rsync invariably comes back with:
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
With cygwin1.3.3/rsync2.4.6, cygwin1.3.9/rsync2.5.1 or
cygwin1.3.9/rsync2.5.2 (and with various patches, principally those
aimed at the "winsock sends RST..." problem) the result is the same.
To simplify things I put the server (daemon) and client on the same
machine, that is, from the bash command line running:
$ rsync --config='d:\home\jamesm\tmp\rsync\rsyncd.conf' --daemon
where the referenced rsyncd.conf file (which has LF-terminated lines)
contains:
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *
motd file = /cygdrive/d/home/jamesm/tmp/rsync/rsync.motd
[d]
path = /cygdrive/d
comment = D: drive on catbox
list = yes
At this point if I telnet to port 873 on the local win2k machine I see:
@RSYNCD: 25
This is the rsync.motd file on catbox.
It's in /cygdrive/d/home/jamesm/tmp/rsync.
which is good; those last two lines are indeed the content of the motd
file identified in the rsyncd.conf file.
That's as far as it goes, however; running the client at this point on
the local machine gives:
$ rsync localhost::
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
$
Anyone know how to get around this problem?
