Hi, I'm trying to use cwrsync( http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/ ) to backup data on a couple of windows 2000 machines to a linux fileserver.
Unfortunately, it seems to want to fire up ssh, which isn't installed. I'm not quite sure why it wants to do this, because as far as I can tell the rsync daemon on the linux machine ought to not need a ssh connection. I've tried specifying the destination as rsync://192.168.0.3/backup/Olivia and as 192.168.0.3::backup/Olivia which theoretically ought to use the rsync protocol rather than ssh. Rsync is specified in inetd.conf. It is listening, because if I just query the server from the windows machines it gives me a list of 'modules'. I tried specifying puTTY, which is installed, as the shell, but that didn't work. I tried installing CopSSH ( http://www.itefix.no/copssh/ ) which seems to be done by the same person as cwrsync, but windows complains about conflicting versions of cygwin.dll I've looked through the docs, and I can't find anything about telling the rsync service to allow unencrypted connections. Rsyncing also works fine from my laptop, but I guess it's probably fireing up ssh. If the worst comes to the worst, I suppose I can always install Cygwin, but weighing in at 30Mb seems a bit of an overkill.
