similar to: cwRync and Windows permissions

Hello all, This is my first post to the group, so please go easy on me. I've setup a cwRsync server on a Windows 2003 Server and an XP client. I have setup rsync to copy a directory from the server to the client, and the files transfer perfectly. The only problem is that the permissions on the destination are wrong. I want the permissions on the destination to end up being the

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

Hi, I'm using rsync with cygwin to synchronize two windows servers. I've got files in server side with full permisions to Administrator user, but when i synchronize it with another windows server, the file placed in client side has a new group called NONE with read , write and execute permisions. I'm using the following line to call rsync: rsync -zvvvr --perms --owner --group

Hi, I'm very interested in learning the status of the --ignorecase patch being included in the main tree... is there a reason it still isn't in there? For anyone who is forced to dealing with backing up windows boxes, this is a big problem, and I can't believe that it isn't affecting a lot of people... Or maybe there is a simple workaround? I'm trying to backup files

Case point: 2 Servers (both with Windows Server 2k3 & cygwin). Running ssh on the destination server. Problem: The rsync user will take ownership over any files copied over from the source server. This takes ownership away from the administrators group, thus disallowing inherited permissions. Is there any way around not taking ownership away from the administrators group and giving it to the

I'm trying to use rsync to keep the permissions between two Windows servers. A windows NT 4 server (with rsync daemon) and windows 2003 R2 I use Rsync in a batch file and I run it as Administrator by double clicking on it. Typically: set cygwin=notnsec rsync -rpDPo --chmod=Du+rwx,Fu+rwx,+X and the files are crossed over but the permissions are screwed up. Now, I can't find out the

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

I've just tried upgrading to cwrsync 2.1.0 (Rsync version 3.0.0 protocol version 30) between 2 Windows XP Pro sp2 machine across the Internet. I used: SET CYGWIN=nontsec SET HOME=c:\cwrsync\bin C:\cwrsync\bin\rsync -za -u -P --delete --recursive /cygdrive/c/test2/ stuart@test.address.co.uk::test/ When I run the above batch script on the remote machine I get this odd output.

I am using deltacopy (uses rsync) to backup up a drive in windows vista to a freenas server. Before moving to vista, had the system working fine (on a windows xp machine). The command used for the backup is: rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete "/cygdrive/F/TXT/" "nas::160d/_Acer_F/TXT/" As a result of this command, rsync should create a dir (not on nas) and then copy some files

hi every one i dont know whether rsync excludes the open file while taking backup or not.? My problem is how to handle open file backup(the files which are open by any process ) with rsync .? Thanks Harshal SPsoft

Hi all! We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to date between some operator machines. Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the read-only flag gets set. The cwrsync user was created (the install is completely standard)... so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that. Here's my rsyncd.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false

NetWare 6 sp4 server to windows 2000 server using cwrsync 1.2.1 when the cwrsync service writes the files to the server it uses it's own username and permissions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this to write the files so common users and delete and change stuff? would the perverse permissions work with windows? Thanks, Matt Vorwald Network Engineer Lumber

I am trying to setup a windows 2000 server with rsync and cygwin. I think I almost have it working except that when the file copy is finished my files are nowhere to be found on the windows server. I am not getting any error messages. I am connecting from a win98 machine on the same network. Any ideas on how I can get this working or get more info to debug. Thanks.

Hello, I'm desperately trying to have a RSync server work on a Windows 2003 Standard Server. All the documentation available I have found applies to Windows NT/2000/XP I don't know whether 2003 works differently from the previous Windows. I have installed the cwrsync package. The RSyncServer Service is running fine under a user account named cwrsync. A successful Telnet on the port 873

I use rsync for backing up windows. After a restore of Desktop.ini I recognize that the hidden attribut and the system attribut will not been restored. I know, this are no unix attributes. But is there a way to backup and restore the windows attributes too? Thanks Matthias -- Don't Panic

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

Hi gang. I am synchronizing Windows machines (cwRsync/cygwin) with FreeBSD server. A batch file is used to initiate the process (shell invoked rsync daemon). My question is whether I need to tell my users to close any affected applications (ex: Outlook; I am synchronizing the outlook.pst file) during the procedure?

Using cwRsync on Windows, is there any way to get the standard rsync stats at the end? It does not look like '--stats' is an option for cwRsync and verbose does not provide the stats. -- Robert

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

We were trying to introduce a better client side log format so that we could get timestamps and module names etc. In the rsync documentation it looks like you can use --log-format for the client ... there is even a sentence saying that this format would not interfere with the rsybc daemons format. We are using cwrsync and when we try and add --log-format="%o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l" The
