similar to: rsync and chmoding permissions on Windows

Hi all, I'm rsyncing a windows 2003 client to a windows 2003 server using the cwrsync installation package. The trouble is that the permission rights set by rsync on the destination server are very restrictive and don't allow another application to access the files. I'd like to change that. However, the GID and UID parameters in the rsyncd.conf file don't seem to manage that.

I'm using CWRSync 2.6.9 protocol 29 on a Windows 2003 Standard R2 server. I'm trying to copy files onto a local usb harddrive. Both filesystems are NTFS. Rsync is failing to copy some files due to the file name length. I kind of assumed that Rsync could handle the same file name length that Windows users are allowed to enter. :-) Is there *anything* I can do with Rsync to allow these

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.

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, 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

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

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

Hello, some people want to use the following construction: they have a NAS machine with an integrated rsync (may be on embedded linux). they have a WinXP with cwRsyncServer (with rsync 3.0.2) and they have on WinXP a network share (i.e. Y: == "//192.168.100.123/sharename") They can use NAS / WinXP with cwRsync to copy files from NAS to a local path on the WinXP machine. But how

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 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?

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

Since upgrading to 2.6.8 with the tag 3 patch, I've been consistently getting an error using rsync. We have about 100 servers using the client to a central backup server and the issue is repeatable on the servers having the problem. About 10 of the servers are having the problem. The error reported by rsync is: Invalid file index: -1019607330 (count=8353) [sender] rsync error: protocol

Hi, I want to disable windows suspend before starting backup by rsync. My rsyncd.conf: ----------------- max connections = 6 log file = /var/log/backup-service.log read only = false write only = false transfer logging = no list = false max verbosity = 6 pre-xfer exec = powercfg /H off [C] path = /cygdrive/c/ [D] path = /cygdrive/d/ ----------------- Unfortunately that didn't work.

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

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

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?
