I have a windows xp pro, it's the test machine, before copying the rsync program on the win 2003 server.

I found this free rsync ported to win32 :

rsync  version 2.6.3  protocol version 28
Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others
<http://rsync.samba.org/>

I am testing the daemon and the client on the same machine. I run the daemon with :

rsync --daemon --no-detach --verbose

It wrotes listening on port 873, and indeed netstat -a -n -b shows it.

I run the client with :

rsync -n -v -u -r -R cfo\* 10.1.10.154:cfo

but it doesn't connect to the service ( netstat proof ). If I telnet 10.1.10.154 873 by hand, I see the rsync answer.

  1. Which is the correct command line to execute the rsync client ?
  2. Which is a basic rsyncd.conf ? I am not sure about the syntax of the file system paths.

It seems this rsync port doesn't depend on cygwin.
