linux Rsync + windows rsync + unexpected connection close

[Mihai Stanescu]

Hello all

I cannot sync my windows box with my linux box because of the following error.

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]

I run rsync version 3.0.4 ( protocol 30) on both machines (cwRsync
binaries on windows). i sync over ssh.

Ssh command works fine from windows.
Same rsync command from the linux box works fine.
Only the rync command from windows doesnt work.

Full dump of the error
