Ok, I'm pretty sure I know what your problem is. I had the same issue on my Windows systems. It's because of cygwin registry entries.
1) Make sure rsyncd is stopped 2) Make sure cygwin is uninstalled (typically by removing c:\cygwin) 3) Run regedit and search for 'cygwin'. Delete any registry key that references it. 4) Start rsyncd and double-check that it's running. Hopefully that'll fix it. I can't answer your question about nested hierarchal format. I can barely remember to reply-all instead of replying only to the original sender... -Rob Cory Rivera wrote: > rsync -vvv router:: returns > > opening tcp connection to router port 873 > rsync: failed to connect to router: Connection refused (111) > rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(104) > [receiver=2.6.9] > _exit_cleanup(code=10, file=clientserver.c, line=104): about to call exit(10) > > I was actually viewing my services (from Control Panel -> Administrative > Tools -> Services) yesterday and found that rsyncd is not started.
