similar to: Destination Permissions on Windows XP

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.

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

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

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'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 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, 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

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

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

Yes this is another connection reset issue but all I am asking is some pointers on how I can possibly determine what and why this is happening. Its easy to say its a network issue but the bosses and clients want to know how to fix this said "network issue." I have read the rsync issues list. Some of what is suggested we might try HOWEVER we cannot duplicate the errors that occur and

Hi all, (i am new at rsync althought using it for a year and half) i was unable to find a direct answer to this questions : _does rsync under windowz really support ACL replication ?_ if I "rsync" a directory, files inherit from the acl of that dir. but if special acls are setted on some files these are lost in the replication : only inherited acls are written i tried this with rsync

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

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.

We have about 5 servers spread out throughout the country: 2 Centos 4.4, 1 Red Hat and 2 windows machines- looking for some good ideas for a back-up solution. Our servers hold a lot of data, but only a small portion of it is crucial on any given day. That crucial portion is always changing (for example, this week the crucial files all relate to November- current and previous projects, and the next

Hi, I am using cwRsync on windows xp and getting following error when I start the rsync client to do local copy. Looks like some kind of permission issue. Any configuration to be done on windows or rsync side?

Hi, I have installed cwRsync Server on Windows Server 2000. I having problems starting the Rsync Server service. If I try to start it manually. I get a message says; Could not start Rsync Server service on the Local Computer The service did not return and error. There could be an internal windows error or internal service error. If the problem persists contact your system administrator I have

Does anyone know a simple self-contained (e.g., along with the appropriate cygwinxxxx.dll file) rsync and ssh binary Windows distribution of rsync and ssh in which ssh supports protocol 2? I tried the installation from http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/binaries/ but these do not support protocol 2. Thanks, Ken Senior

Hi. I have an Western Digital network drive My Book World Edition 500GB.. I have installed cwrsync and try to sync a folder on my local machine(Windows Vista) to my my external network drive ( in the same LAN). The strange thing is that rsync copies folders and files, but the files seems to be HIDDEN at the destination. I have tried several versions of rsync and cygwin, and also several options on

Hello, I'm using cwRsync on windows (I've tried a few alternatives, like Delta for example, but all of them behave equally (bad) in my case - they set really weird permissions on binaries - I don't know which ones exactly, but binaries cannot be executed). I have a linux server with binaries for different platforms. When I rsync (copy) linux binaries to linux, or copy mac binaries

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
