rsync - Nov 2005 - File transfer from/to mapped drive with cygwin rsync

Hello all,

    When we tried the rsync of files from a network mapped drive
(Windows) to Linux host, we are getting the following error.

    rsync -av <User Name>@<Rsync Server IP>::<Mapped Network
Module
Name>  <Destination>

    where <Mapped Network Module Name> is the rsync module name defined
in rsyncd.conf file for mapped drive.

  Error :-

    @ERROR: chdir failed
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far)
[receiver]
    rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/io.c(359)


All the suggestions on how to do rsync on mapped drive will be very
helpful,

Thanks in advance,
sanal

Just read the server's log file to discover what directory was being
attempted in that chdir() call (rsync doesn't like to reveal such info
from the daemon to the client).  I'm guessing you're trying to use a
DOS-style path, which is not supported by rsync (use a cygwin-style
path).

Hello Wayne,

	Thanks for the reply,

	We tried with cygwin style path also. Still we are getting the
same error.

	Following is the error from rsync server log:

2005/11/10 17:44:32 [1716] rsync: chdir /cygdrive/i/check failed
: Permission denied (13)

	Where I: is a mapped drive in Windows. We've provided the full
access to I: for everybody.

	Will the upgrade to latest rsync will help? We are using rsync
2.6.3.

Thanks in advance,
sanal
