As an update to this problem, it seems that rsync has no problem
updating/transferring the directory tree (every day, new data is added in a
date directory structure at the remote site). So when I rsync, I get the
new folders, but the error message always pops up before data files are
We are rsync'ing from an xp box running cygwin to a redhat box, using a Perl
script that fist calls for an ssh tunnel, then calls rsync through local
host.
ssh -P -f -L 8740:remote.host.ip:873 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -p 22 sleep 25
rsync -vrtz -v --timeout=180 --exclude-from=exludefiles
