Rsync question.

[tim.conway at philips.com]

Tarun:  I don't use rsync to windows - just too much trouble and no need, 
but, I think the problem is the embedded colon in the path.

It exists fine on the unix side, but when it's created on the dos side, 
you're creating the directory "EI-DM/chq-taruna at 10.1.17.160:", but getting the directory "EI-DM/chq-taruna at 10.1.17.160", then, trying to work in the directory 
"EI-DM/chq-taruna at 10.1.17.160:", which doesn't exist.
Can you get rid of the colons?

I'm not sure, though - is "EI-DM/chq-taruna" a username, and you're 
sending to that user at 10.1.17.160?  Special characters cause problems in cross-platform 
interactions, and require kludges to work around them.

I've CCd the list, so that the better and more experienced minds can chime 
in with what I've left out. It's easy to turn your subscription to the 
list off and on as needed, in case you're concerned about the constant 
trickle of messages to your email, and it's the best place to get accurate 
info.

Hi Tim,
Got your reference from
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-October/005053.html

I'm trying to get familiarized with rsync . Here is what I'm doing.

If i rsync from NT client ==> Solaris everything is fine. With Cygwin and
sshd running as daemon on the Sun box.

But.

If i rsync from Solaris ==> NT client with sshd running on NT client with
this command.

rsync -a -v -e ssh ./cacm.jar EI-DM/chq-taruna at 10.1.17.160:/

building file list ... done
cannot create EI-DM/chq-taruna at 10.1.17.160:/..CVaWd5 : No such file or
directory
cacm.jar
wrote 77015 bytes  read 32 bytes  154094.00 bytes/sec
total size is 76910  speedup is 1.00


I'm trying to sync the cacm.jar in the current directory of the source
machine to the root of target machine running Cygwin. Which according to 
me
should resolve to c:/cygwin/home/administrator/

I think I'm assuming things wrong.

I would be very obliged if you could help me here.
Regards,
Tarun.
