Have you tried rsync 2.5.5 ? I have reverted to that because 2.5.6 was hanging every time (see my posting on 2003-11-17). I used 2.5.5 for several months without problems, before upgrading cygwin recently.
Unlike you I am NOT using ssh. I am using rsync (at work that is) as part of a script to automate part of the process of producing a distribution package for an MS$ VB application that we sell. I got really tired of spending half an hour moving files around by hand after running the VB Package & Deployment Wizard, and making standard edits to some of the packaging files, so I automated it using cygwin, bash and perl. If any developer is working on this problem, I would be happy to test any new rsync executable for them, to establish if it works in my environment. ...John -- ------------------------------------------------------------ John Hunt Stokesley, N Yorks, UK e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.yoredale.uklinux.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
