rsync 2.5.4 on win2k machine

[Raviraj Murdeshwar]

David,

I have downloaded rsync through 'cygwin' package and i am trying to use it
as following in DOS command prompt on windows 2000 machine.

For testing purpose,I am trying to copy some bat files from my machine to a
another machine 'bitserver' as follows:

D:\tmp>rsync -rcv *.bat \\bitserver\tmp
building file list ... done
automate.bat
bitlab11.auto.bat
bitlab11xx.bat
bitwait.bat
ccv.bat
db2ref.bat
dbr.bat
dbref.bat
dbreftmp.bat
iis.bat
test.bat
read error: Connection reset by peer
=====================================================

i am getting "read error: Connection reset by peer"

is there any rsync setup required to make it work ?
is it supposed to work with command prompt Or with ONLY cygwin ?


I checked "/usr/doc/Cygwin" rsync README file but it just tells me about
compiling.
i tried to compile even the latest rsync 2.5.4 source,  but got following
error:

I don't understand the question.  What did you try to do?  What did
not work?

Did you read the rsync doc under /usr/doc/Cygwin?
