rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2., 6.3/main.c(1073)
Good Morning- I am running rsync over Cygwin and am getting an unusual error. The same error occurs when I attempt to invoke rsync on the Windows command-line (using cwrsync). Has anyone ever seen it before. Googling it turns up nothing useful. rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2. 6.3/main.c(1073) Win2K Server, Service Pack 4 Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry, I thought that was clear. In this case, I was just inputting rsync with no flags or args. With args, it is producing this result: bash-2.05b$ rsync -avc --progress --stats rsh=ssh -l adminuser rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /cygdrive/g/source/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/My/Shared/Volume/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] password: building file list ... rsync: link_stat /usr/bin/rsh=ssh -l adminuser failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: link_stat /usr/bin/rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync failed: No such file or directory (2) 0 files... And it continues to build file list before I escape using Ctrl-C Source machine is a Win2K Server and target is Panther client. Thanks. Jeff It was also appearing along with another error when attempting to sync a loadset between a Win2K Server machine and Linux, but the cause of the other error has been identified and resolved -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

In that case, in addition to the above error, rsync should have also output a big, long usage message (on stderr). You can get the usage message on stdout via rsync --help. It would be very strange if the usage message were not printed. bash-2.05b$ rsync -avc --progress --stats rsh=ssh -l adminuser rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync /cygdrive/g/source/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/My/Shared/Volume/ You missed the -- in front of the --rsh and --rsync-path options, so rsync complained that it each one wasn't found as a file. Also, you must not both specify -l adminuser to ssh and adminuser@ -- choose one or the other (since they both do the same thing). I'd recommend setting RSYNC_RSH=ssh in your environment so that you don't need to specify --rsh=ssh (which just makes the commands easier to type) and then using the adminuser@ prefix to control the user. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

You are right, I just did not include it as I thought it would be implicit to all. Sorry about the confusion.

Next time I should RTFM, ay! Great advice about setting the environment variable. Do I set this in the environment variable tab on the Windows machine under System Properties as you would under Cygwin?
