Hi folks, It may be a very basic question for many people here but I have been struggling with Windows commandline. My CentOS machines are running perfectly fine. Question: I have installed cwRsync server on one of Windows 2003 and cwRsync client on the other Windows 2003. What command should I run to connect to the cwRsync server from the client? and how can I make sure that cwRsync is even running. I have checked the services I could not find. I also ran the netsat in windows to see what ports cwRsync is listening to. Or can anybody direct me to a good tutorial on cwRsync. Thanks in advance

Dear Abdul, AFAIK, cwRsync accepts the same command line argument as rsync on Linux does. The only difference is that you don't have built-in SSH. You have three options: 1. Make your rsync run as a daemon on CentOS and then from Windows connect to port 873 2. Download CYGWIN and use its SSH client 3. Download DeltaCopy from (http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp), which is another packing for rsync on Windows and has a GUI interface. Thanks, Imran.

I have checked the services I could not find.If you mean from an external site then make a dummy location in rsyncd.conf ie [dummy45678] path = /cygdrive/e/dummy read only = true list=no This is not visible in a rsync list unless you know its name. So you can test for the existence of itself. If you meant internally test for rsync running, simply write a batch file using: NET START > %temp%\list.tmp Find /I "rsync" %temp%\list.tmp treat accordingly.
