Rsync windows to linux is hanging

[Mark de Jong]

Hello,
I've looked through all the postings and can't seem to find an answer to
my delema. I have tested this on an XP and win2k box and get the same
results. I'm trying to rsync a fairly large directory (approx. 1.6 GB)
from a windows machine to a linux box for backup purposes. The process
hangs at the same point everytime. When I try to rsync smaller portions
of the same large directory, or the particular directory where the
process hangs, everything works out fine. I have tried both compressed
and uncompressed transfers. I am running the following:

Windows 2000 running cygwin rsync 2.5.5 and OpenSSH_3.4p1 (the sender)
Redhat 7.3 with rsync 2.5.4 and OpenSSH 3.1


Rsync reports the following at the time it hangs:

Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this? Thanks for your time!
