Hi all, I'm trying to connect across the internet to an rsync server (cwrsync running on WinXP) from a Linux box. I have opened up the TCP port 873 on the remote firewall and opened a hole in the Windows firewall, but I am still getting the error: rsync: failed to connect to 217.64.121.18: Connection refused Does rsync use UDP as well? Does rsync work over NAT OK? Reuben
