Perhaps it will be useful for me (also) to answer these questions. I rarely use cygwin because I find it heavy and fragile. I'm willing to believe that my own unhappy experience with cygwin is unrepresentative of its value in general; perhaps it works great most of the time, in most contexts. I don't rely on Samba because I have situations where I also don't like to install Samba, and moreover the Windows host is frequently disconnected, and unable to reach the Linux-based datacenter. I summarize: the configuration kschwarz had in mind requires less installation and configuration, at least for me. Others will already assume Samba and/or cygwin, and might justly come to a quite different conclusion. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

How to push files from Linux to Windows
Hi, I am newbie on rsync. I want to push files from a rsync repository on a Linux machine (hostname=myserver) to some Windows machines (hostname=mydesktopn, where n is a sequence number to identify the Windows PC) to force updates of the files into C:\mypath\to\files. Is there any way to do that? Or is it impossible and I need to content pulling the files instead of pushing them. Could someone help on this?

Since this affects 95% of the files in the mail directories, this is a serious problem for me! For instance: 1120817285.22306_0.mail (works fine) .1124450874.30945_0.mail (reports 0KB) .1123700716.P14142Q0M23.mail (reports 0KB) .1087907444.7006_1.mail.domain.com,U=1,W=42566 (reports 0KB) Is there any known fix for this problem? I realize that Linux filenames and conventions don't necessarily play nice with Windows, but perhaps someone here as experience in getting this to work. Google has thus far proved ineffective in finding a solution! Also, since I'm new to these mailing lists, how do I reply to someone who as replied to my post?
