Hi:

              I'm trying to use cwRsync (Cygwin Rsync) to sync files from a 
Windows box to a linux box. My problem is my private key's passphrase is not 
authenticating. See below for the steps I did.

              Steps:
              1) I edited cwRsync.cmd add add rsync call and passed along 
parameter to it
                        c:\path\to\rsync.exe %*
              2) Added path to rsync.exe and cwRsync to my PATH environment 
variable (Windows)
              3) Run cwrsync from a new command line window

                  cwrsync -avvvz -e "ssh -i /cygdrive/c/key/ludz.ppk" 
/cygdrive/C/users/linhou/rysnc_test 
[email protected]:/home/linhou/rsync_test

                  It kept asking for my passphrase which I typed, but I'm still 
unable to login. I'm able to login via putty though (by also typing the same 
passphrase).

            4) I tried using plink

                   cwrsync -avvvz -e "plink-i c:\key\ludz.ppk" 
/cygdrive/C/users/linhou/rysnc_test 
[email protected]:/home/linhou/rsync_test
                  
                   I wasn't even prompted for a passphrase, lines of "wrong 
passphrase" just appear until I was forced to hit control C.


            Anybody with ideas? I had working a couple of  years ago,  but I 
forgot what I did then :-(


Regards,
Ludwig
