For a recent project I needed to run Rsync as a service on Windows NT. The following is a link to the instructions I created to recreate my steps. http://members.home.net/cbollerud2/projects/rsync/NTService.html The "no-fork" patch used here is very similar to the "no-detach" option mentioned in many previous posts. I wish I could take credit for it, but I basically put

I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on having windows clients synchronize data to it. Rsync running as a daemon works fine. I can successfully copy data up to the server and view it via scp. Also- I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well. HOWEVER- I cannot connect "passwordless" with SSH and then connect to the rsync daemon. The following demonstartes what I

Hi all, I'm trying to get rsync running on a Windows 2k box (my tape backup server) to remotely back up stuff from a few unix boxes. Not my favored constellation, but there's not much I can do about that. I'm hoping someone could give me a quick tip or two on getting rsync working as a Win2k service. I'm not real proficient with Win2k, so be gentle. The posts I could find

Hello! I want to start rsync on w2k as service. If I try to start rsync from command line it simply do nothig: $ rsync --daemon Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 480 1 480 480 con 500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash 1428 480 1428 1420 con 500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps Administrator@dm-w2ks

I am having a problem getting my files backed up to the location I want to from a WinXP client going to a Debian rsync server. The following is sending asm/ to /home/robert/backup folder. rsync -avz /cygdrive/d/asm robert@192.168.1.102:backup/ My understanding of the rsync man page is that this is supposed to send asm/ to what the path that is defined in rsyncd.conf, mine is defined as /backup.

I am trying to set up rsync as a daemon under WindowsXP (professional) in order to be able to backup this machine on to a linux server. I am struggling with an issue I don't understand. I don't know whether it is an Rsync issue or a Cygwin issue, so I am asking both mailing lists. My WindowsXP machine has ip address 192.168.0.25 and name rabbit.home My Linux machine has ip address

I am attempting to use rsync to "mirror" data between several windows 2000 and windows XP systems. I am a UNIX person by nature, so decided the easiest way to go about doing this would be to use Cygwin with cron and ssh running as services, then run the rsync connection nightly through cron. Cygwin is installed on both systems and works perfectly. OpenSSH is installed and running,

Hello, Rsync is working great for me right now, using version 2.6.5 on two Solaris 9 V100 servers. Box A is the source and box B is the destination, and also box B is my rsync server box. Box A is a rsync client. Yesterdar from Box B I pulled 250 meg just fine from box A with rsync. Today from the client I want to just copy over to the server what files have changed today. So my command

I'm having prolems with cwRsync on server 2003. I'm getting pretty much identical results to this from the archive: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-April/009187.html, and as far as I can see the only suggestion there was to check permissions. I have one further complication too- I'm trying to sync a remote server on to a vmware virtual disk that I've mounted using the

I was looking to install Rsync on a win2k server, the document telling you how to do this (available at: http://samba.org/rsync/nt.html) is fairly out of date and has a couple of mistakes. An updated version of the "Rsync on NT" document is now available at: http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html I think I've gotten rid of the mistakes, but if I've missed anything

Hi, Not sure when this stopped working, because I'm sure it used to. This is the cygwin build of rsync, with the standard cygwin rsh (which is a fairly old GNU inetutils 1.3.2). ~=> rsync --rsh=rsh -vv bibble: opening connection using rsh bibble rsync --server --sender -vvr . rsh: unknown option -- server Try `rsh --help' for more information. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed

What is the status of rsync on Windows 2000? I was looking to install it on my test system, and the download directory has a readme file that says I need the cygnus gnu-win32 library. The link refers me to the index page for cygnus, with no way to get to a download area. A google search shows many mirrors of the download directory. All I have checked are completely blank. I will confess

Hi there, I am running rsync-3.0.6-12.el6.x86_64 on a centos 6.6 box. Am trying to get files from a remote server (centos 6.5) to my local machine. It appears to connect fine, but does not transfer any file. this is what I am seeing [youcantoo at testbox home]# rsync -avvvzh -P --stats --delete servername::backupdir/ /home/findmoore opening tcp connection to servername port 873 sending daemon

I've spent a long time searching the archives and can't find a solution to my problem- apologies if I've missed it. I've been running rsync absolutely fine for a couple of months on Win2K server using Win2K & WinXP clients with a 'regular' service installation using cygrunsrv (below). It works excellently except that all the files transferred by rsync have the

Hi, I've seen a page on the internet : http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html Seems to me that I have some problems running the rsync binary with "--backup-dir=PATH" options. The command below runs just fine except for the option above. C:\rsync>rsync --delete -b --backup --backup-dir=/cygdrive/c/Doc/backup/Fri -ave ssh /cygd rive/c/Doc/backup/desktop/

The background: I host one of the unofficial slackware mirrors & push to a high speed (unlisted) mirror that several other unofficials use for pulls. To save time/disk/bandwidth I use a custom script to hardlink the trees prior to pushing the updates to said unlisted mirror. The commandline (linewrap from hell, sorry): (note: username/password/hostname/modulename deliberately obfuscated)

Your users have rsh access to the machine, and are getting wherever they want, using the server:/path syntax. if they were using the server::module syntax, they would be restricted to only what's provided by the modules. If you don't want them getting everything all over the system, you will need to prevent shell access. Tim Conway conway.tim@sphlihp.com reorder name and reverse

Hello all, Since the rsync on Panther many things changed in my professional life. This project is abandoned although it should work. But this you already know. What's new? On my new job I have several servers to administrate. Servers that aren't backed up (sic). So, there's why I'm back to rsync. The backup plan I would like: 1) Client side: PCs running rsync (or
