rsync --password-file= Problem

[Jan Verbesselt]

Dear list,

 

I'm using rsync via CYGWIN (winxp) compu to access our SUSE linux station
for backup purposes. I would like to run this regularly, via BAT files,
however the password stays necessary (prompt), after using a
-pasword-file=/.

 

There is no error message but password stays necessary.

 

rsync -avzuC --delete --password-file=/cygdrive/d/test/test.txt
/cygdrive/d/test/ user at hostadress:/home/janvb/test

 

How can this be solved? Is there an error?

(i.e. something with global permissions etc.  I tried to solve it with 

 

set RSYNC_PASSWORD=mypassword

 

or

 

set RSYNC_PASSWORD=pass

set CYGWIN=NTEA NTSEC

 

but it seems not to be working

 

Thanks in advance,

Jan
