Tarun: I don't use rsync to windows - just too much trouble and no need,
but, I think the problem is the embedded colon in the path.

It exists fine on the unix side, but when it's created on the dos side,
you're creating the directory "EI-DM/chq-taruna@10.1.17.160:", but
getting the directory "EI-DM/chq-taruna@10.1.17.160", then, trying to
work in the directory
"EI-DM/chq-taruna@10.1.17.160:", which doesn't exist.
Can you get rid of the colons?
I'm not sure, though - is "EI-DM/chq-taruna" a username, and
you're
sending to that user at 10.1.17.160? Special characters cause problems in
cross-platform
interactions, and require kludges to work around them.
I've CCd the list, so that the better and more experienced minds can chime
in with what I've left out. It's easy to turn your subscription to the
list off and on as needed, in case you're concerned about the constant
trickle of messages to your email, and it's the best place to get accurate
info.

Subject: Rsync question.
Classification:
Hi Tim,
Got your reference from
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-October/005053.html
I'm trying to get familiarized with rsync . Here is what I'm doing.
If i rsync from NT client ==> Solaris everything is fine. With Cygwin and
sshd running as daemon on the Sun box.
But.
If i rsync from Solaris ==> NT client with sshd running on NT client with
this command.
rsync -a -v -e ssh ./cacm.jar EI-DM/chq-taruna@10.1.17.160:/
building file list ... done
cannot create EI-DM/chq-taruna@10.1.17.160:/..CVaWd5 : No such file or
directory
cacm.jar
wrote 77015 bytes read 32 bytes 154094.00 bytes/sec
total size is 76910 speedup is 1.00
I'm trying to sync the cacm.jar in the current directory of the source
machine to the root of target machine running Cygwin. Which according to
me
should resolve to c:/cygwin/home/administrator/
I think I'm assuming things wrong.
I would be very obliged if you could help me here.
Regards,
Tarun.
