<div><font color="#333333">Got rsync daemon working, but I am trying to set some variables in the rsyncd.conf file: <br>
here is my rsyncd.conf file:<br>
<br>
<br>
use chroot = false<br>
strict modes = false<br>
hosts allow = *<br>
log file = cygdrive/f/rsyncd.log<br>
uid = 0<br>
gid = 0<br>
<br>
# Module definitions<br>
<br>
[BackupArea]<br>
path = /cygdrive/f/backup/test/%computerName% <b><---------- This is how I want it to work...<br>
</b>read only = false<br>
transfer logging = yes<br>
<br>
When I try to rsync I am getting this error:<br>
<br>
@ERROR: chdir failed<br>
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1506) [sen<br>
der=3.0.7]<br>
<br>
Rsync daemon log states:<br>
<br>
02/10 16:57:32 [280] rsync: chdir /cygdrive/f/backup/test/%computerName% failed<br>
: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
here is what I read in the rsncd.conf documentation: <br>
You may base the path's value off of an environment variable by surrounding the variable name with percent signs. You can even reference a variable that is set by rsync when the user connects. For example, this would use the authorizing user's name in the path:<br>
<br>
path = /home/%RSYNC_USER_NAME% <br>
<br>
Any idea what this is not working?</font></div>
