I know you guys hate questions like this, but has anyone had experience with a particular Windows client they would endorse? I need to sync some Windows boxen. I'm just looking for someone to tell me they're using X and happy. -- Jason A Nunnelley President Tech Anything, Inc. 1 888 846 4109 Fax 1 256 962 0290 Voice OneBigBook[tm], OneBigBrand[tm], OneBigBiz[tm], and OneBigShow[tm] are services provided by Tech Anything, Inc.
I use cwrsync on XP Pro sp3 and 2003 R2 Standard server SP2 and they work fine (bar the obvious cygwin limitations). -- Stuart Halliday -----Original Message----- From: "Jason A.

You need to set set CYGWIN=nontsec else binaries don't work *at all*, and it has serious issues with uppercase letters in file & folder names, as well as with spaces, sometimes. You need to use /cygdrive/c/... instead of C: if you want to use global paths, but well ... it serves our needs, at least approximately. I doubt that any other client behaves much better in that respect, and most hackers use unix, so windows support is laying a bit behind. Mojca
