rsync hanging on Cygwin

[tim.moss at site-speed.com]

I'm trying to use rsync under Cygwin on 2 machines running Windows 2000
Server
There's a 2MB link between them and I'm using SSH setup for a passwordless
connection
 
rsync hangs part way through transfers and when run again hangs at the same
place in the same files with no explanation no matter what verbosity level I
set it to.  Each time it hangs it leaves an rsync process running on the
"source" machine
 
I added the timeout option to the command which gives the following info:
(don't know if this will help track down this issue)
 
io timeout after 60 seconds - exiting:00
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.0/io.c(109)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (72412 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.0/io.c(189)

If I run it again the "bytes read so far" values is identical
If I delete the particular file that it hangs at (from the destination) then
the same thing happens again
using or not using the -W option makes no difference
using or not using compression makes no difference
 
 
 
Now this bit is very odd:
If I change directory on the destination machine into the directory where
the problem file is
and change the rsync command to transfer all the files in that directory
(adding the directory/* to the source parameter)
then the file is transferred just fine!
 
go figure!
 
I then rerun rsync and it will carry on past this file (since it is now up
to date on the destination) until it hits some other "problem" file and
hangs again.
 
 
any ideas most appreciated!
There's a note on the website home page that using daemon mode sometimes
works around this
 
 
 
The man page hints that I can run rsync in daemon mode on the "source"
machine by specifying the right parameters on the client command line
If I'm using SSH do I still need to open up the rsync server port on the
"server" machine, or does the traffic come over the ssh connection?
If so what is the format of the client command line - try as I may I can't
get it to work - it just exits immediately as soon as I add the --daemon
parameter
