Got rsync daemon working, but I am trying to set some variables in the rsyncd.conf file: here is my rsyncd.conf file:
use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * log file = cygdrive/f/rsyncd.log uid = 0 gid = 0 # Module definitions [BackupArea] path = /cygdrive/f/backup/test/%computerName% <---------- This is how I want it to work... read only = false transfer logging = yes When I try to rsync I am getting this error: @ERROR: chdir failed rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1506) [sen der=3.0.7] Rsync daemon log states: 02/10 16:57:32 [280] rsync: chdir /cygdrive/f/backup/test/%computerName% failed : No such file or directory here is what I read in the rsncd.conf documentation: You may base the path's value off of an environment variable by surrounding the variable name with percent signs. You can even reference a variable that is set by rsync when the user connects. For example, this would use the authorizing user's name in the path: path = /home/%RSYNC_USER_NAME% Any idea what this is not working? Can we use dynamic modules? Set global parameters? I can do this outside of the rsync daemon. Chad Franks Engineer, Network Services Crowley Maritime Corp. Chad Franks Engineer, Network Services Crowley Maritime Corp.
