cwRsync on windows

[Abdul Khan]

Hi folks,
It may be a very basic question for many people here but I have been
struggling with Windows commandline. My CentOS machines are running
perfectly fine.
Question:
I have installed cwRsync server on one of Windows 2003 and cwRsync
client on the other Windows 2003. What command should I run to connect
to the cwRsync server from the client? and how can I make sure that
cwRsync is even running. I have checked the services I could not find. I
also ran the netsat in windows to see what ports cwRsync is listening to.
Or can anybody direct me to a good tutorial on cwRsync.

Thanks in advance

Dear Abdul,

AFAIK, cwRsync accepts the same command line argument as rsync on Linux
does. The only difference is that you don't have built-in SSH. You have
three options:

1. Make your rsync run as a daemon on CentOS and then from Windows
connect to port 873
2. Download CYGWIN and use its SSH client
3. Download DeltaCopy from
(http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp), which is another
packing for rsync on Windows and has a GUI interface.


Thanks,
Imran.

If you mean from an external site then make a dummy location in rsyncd.conf

ie

[dummy45678]
path = /cygdrive/e/dummy
read only = true
list=no


This is not visible in a rsync list unless you know its name. So you can
test for the existence of itself.

If you meant internally test for rsync running, simply write a batch file
using:

NET START > %temp%\list.tmp
Find /I "rsync" %temp%\list.tmp

treat accordingly.
