I'm not sure (maybe someone else can confirm/infirm?) but I think when there is a server it is "normal" that there is one process to handle connexions and one process for each transfer. Think about many clients connecting to your server. One process will dialog with all clients (from different adresses, wanting different things)?

Hi,

I am using rsync 3.0.4 on a WinXP machine (with CygWin) to synchronize my files to a RedHat Linux server. Everything is working perfectly, but there
is one thing I do not understand.

Apparently there is a difference in pushing and pulling files with rsync.
When I push my files to the server with this command, I see one rsync
process on my WinXP machine, just as expected

rsync -rlt -e "ssh -T" Test.pst <user>@<ip address>:/data

But when I pull my files from the server to my WinXP machine with this
command, I see two rsync processes on my WinXP machine.

rsync -rlt -e "ssh -T" <user>@<ip address>:/data/Test.pst .

Can anybody confirm that this is the default behavior ? If yes, what would
be the reason for spawning an extra child rsync process ?

Any information is appreciated.

Warm regards,

Jan
