I installed cygwin this week on a W2K box w/all the latest SP's. The version of rsync is 2.5.5 protocol v26. When I execute #rsync -xa rsync://archive.progeny.com/CPAN I get the following; rsync: faliled to connect to archive.progeny.com: Connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97) I've read the man pages, searched mailings archives at both rsync & cygwin sites to no avail. Sent an e-mail to NoVALug. Anybody run into this? I'm assuming that it is unable to bind to the network socket. Do I need to reinstall/recompile something? Oh and I've tried it from my Linux box at home so I know that the server is available. I was also wondering why the following fails. #rsync -xa rsync://archive.progeny.com:CPAN This is the format that is described to use on the CPAN site and also in the man pages. The : notation for the directory.
