Hi, If you experience problems with permissions, make sure that your subdirectories inherit their permissions from the parent directory and you start rsync from a batch file where you set CYGWIN environment variable to nontsec. Example : @echo off set CYGWIN=nontsec cd C:\Program Files\cwRsync echo -------------------------------- >> "C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log" date /T >> "C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log" time /T >> "C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log" rsync.exe --verbose --recursive --delete /cygdrive/d/xxxxx/xxxxxxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::test >> "C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log" I would also like to inform that I updated my cwRsync package with the latest rsync binary (2.5.7). http://itefix.no/cwrsync Rgrds Tev
