I just tried it with port 80 on server and client but the error message
is still displayed.
I did not expect it to change anything either since the firewall is not
supposed to block outgoing connections at all. And as stated in my
original post rsync works fine even though the Windows firewall reports
that it has blocked it.
Best regards,
