Which states:
Regular rsync over SSH doesn't work between Linux and Windows/Cygwin
boxes because of a bug fixed in rsync 3.0
On Debian 4, I see:
2009-02-16 13:37:56 r...@p3450 ~
# rsync --version
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
<snip>
2009-02-16 13:41:37 r...@p3450 ~
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9etch3, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
2009-02-16 13:57:13 r...@p3450 ~
# cat /etc/debian_version
4.0
On Cygwin, I see:
2009-02-16 13:40:44 dpchr...@p43400e ~
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30
<snip>
2009-02-16 13:40:50 dpchr...@p43400e ~
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8j 07 Jan 2009
So, it looks like the rsync and ssh binaries in Debian 4.0 are older
versions than those on Cygwin. Debian 5 has ssh 5.1p1-5 and rsync
3.0.3-2:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/openssh-client
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/rsync
If I rebuild the box using Debian 5, should BackupPC work for Windows/
Cygwin via ssh/ rsync?
