I need to sync a directory with my freebsd box. In linux/bsd I use the

windows with this syntax does not work.
Do you get an error message when you run the command above? Since it appears
you are able sync to the FreeBSD box from other machines, it sounds like this
question is maybe a little OT here. You might have better luck asking the
cwrsync folks.
That having been said, here's what I know. At work we use cwrsync to backup
some Windows boxes to a NAS sharing directories over samba. Our rsync looks
more or less like this (cutting some switches for clarity):
rsync -rvt --delete "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/lcapps" \
//SNAP203762/backups/staff/lcapps/pc_bak
A couple of things -- are you sure you're specifying the "cygdrive" correctly?
How are you accessing the remote box from Windows? SSH? (I don't have any experience
using rsync that way.) Our Windows machines are already connected to the shared
directory before rsync runs.
Good luck,
