You set up an ssh server on the machine with the mapped drive, install an ssh client on the machine running rsync, and direct rsync to the mapped drive using a path of the form host:/cygdrive/C/path/to/mapped/drive/ (note the *single* colon). cwRsync ( http://itefix.no/cwrsync/ ) is a nice packaging containing rsync, an ssh client and server, and some glue to get the ssh server running in Windows; I recommend it. Note: you might run into the infamous remote-rsync-under-Cygwin hang bug, which is being tracked here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2208 Matt -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
