Rsync from NT to UNIX

[tim.conway at philips.com]

Try "ssh server1 rsync --version".
You will see either a message about failing to access server1, or 
something like "ksh: rsync:  not found".  For the first one, fix ssh.  for 
the second one, make it possible for rsync to find itself over the 
connection, either by putting it into the stripped-down PATH given to 
non-interactive shells (link it into /bin, for instance), or use 
"--rsync-path=<wherever it lives on the remote>".
Remember, when rsync rshes or sshes over, it runs itself on the far end, 
not by sending over a copy of its own binary, but by running the program 
residing on the remote host.

Thanks Tim, I will try it. I have one more question I have setup rsync on 
two UNIX servers when I try to copy using the following command it gives 
unexpected EOF in read_timeout 
$ rsync -v -az --stats -e ssh share server1:/home/thirdparty/dest
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
Then I immediately setup rsync to copy from the same server to a different 
server it does not give any error. Do you have any clue why rsync is 
behaving like this?. 
Thanks in advance

You're set, unless you declined ssh in your cygwin installation (without 
cygwin, you're not doing rsync from windoze). It's just like unix, in 
that case. (Bonus clue: Under related commands for ssh, you'll find 
ssh-keygen).
If you don't actually need to secure your content (you're not naked on the 

internet, for instance), you can just let rsync use plain old rsh 
transport, or even just rsync to a rsyncd, if you set one up.

I'm ccing the list to let them know the status of your question. It makes 
more traffic, but we generally try to keep the resolutions open to avoid 
duplicating efforts.
