Sorry to report that it hangs at the end of transfer, as did (cygwin packaged) 2.5.6. I have reverted again to 2.5.5 (from an old cygwin installation) that works well for me. (I installed cwRsync then copied rsync.exe to cygwin\bin, replacing the existing rsync.exe. Should I have done anything else too?)

One relating to patches to 2.5.6 for security, and another relating to patches to fix the hang problem. Wishful thinking on my part that 2.5.7 might have fixed the latter! ...John -- ------------------------------------------------------------ John Hunt Stokesley, N Yorks, UK e-mail: john.rsync@yoredale.uklinux.net URL: http://www.yoredale.uklinux.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------

The problem appears to be in the cygwin dll. See: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-12/msg00414.html Until the fix makes it out as a release, there will continue to be lots of this kind of report. Right now it is just fixed in a snapshot. Jim
