Check if your password file is saved in Unicode format. They should be in ASCII text format.

Subject: rsync --password-file= Problem

Dear list,

 

I’m using rsync via CYGWIN (winxp) compu to access our SUSE linux station for backup purposes. I would like to run this regularly, via BAT files, however the password stays necessary (prompt), after using a –pasword-file=/…

 

There is no error message but password stays necessary.

 

rsync -avzuC --delete --password-file=/cygdrive/d/test/test.txt /cygdrive/d/test/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/janvb/test

 

How can this be solved? Is there an error?

(i.e. something with global permissions etc…  I tried to solve it with

 

set RSYNC_PASSWORD=mypassword

 

or

 

set RSYNC_PASSWORD=pass

set CYGWIN=NTEA NTSEC

 

but it seems not to be working

 

Thanks in advance,

Jan
