This is a nice tip about the password. I always did it this way: echo my_password| rsync ... which is different than echo my_password | rsync ... Notice the space before the pipe. Windows sends the space as part of the password, and thus sends an invalid password to rsync. -John -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
