According to the rsync man page, a double-colon ( :: ) in the data path means it expects to see an rsync daemon installation on that side of the link. A single colon ( : ) means rsync will use the remote-shell transport. On my system, the remote-shell transport defaults to ssh, not rsh.
I'd like to gain some speed by dropping the encryption overhead of ssh. (My "network" is a cross-over cable inside a locked server room, so there's no risk of anyone snooping in my dirvish session.) -dP -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:28 AM To: Dirvish user and developer mailing list Subject: Re: [Dirvish] Does Windows rsync work with Dirvish? Well I'll really out myself here......... I run dirvish between various machines in my local LAN, and I use no encryption at all. Two of the machines backed up by dirvish every day are Win XP machines and it works perfectly. The trick is the following: Here is a default.conf from Dirvish: client: 192.168.123.180 tree: :Dat xdev: 0 index: gzip image-default: %Y%m%d-%H%M exclude: Cache/** blah..blah.. The colon ":" before Dat tells it not to use SSH. I have no idea whether cwrsync can support rsh or not. _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
