I have a problem with rsync 2.6 protocol 27 (both client and server) running over XP via Cygwin and sshd (on remote machine). It just hangs almost randomly while transfering files after transfering a few megabytes, not always on the same file. When the remote machine is a Linux server I have no problems, bad news is I need also to rsync from XP... I found the problem mentioned somewhere else doing a google serach, see for instance: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg01065.html Which seems to be exactly the same issue, see the link for more info about the situation. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a solution so far on the web. I was hoping that somebody here knows a way around this problem (other than dropping XP :-) Thanks
Try cwrsync at http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/ and see if you have better luck. Older cygwin DLLs had some network issues that rsync exposed, but in my experience installing cwrsync will fix the problem entirely.

I recommend using rsync in daemon mode with cygwin. Craig
