rsync over sshd

Is there a chance that you build a package with both rsync and sshd?We're using backuppc and it would be a really good combination for the windows-world. The rsyncd has everytime an open port, but when we use this combination we can open the port only for this backup-job. thanks in advance.

Re: rsync over sshd

GOOD NEWS!
Stay tuned :-) I've almost finished cwRsync Server 2.0 beta, which will be available during May 2005. This solution includes a built-in openssh server for secure tunnelling. In addition, I developed a command-line wrapper (sechaw) and a wizard, that will make secure channeling an easy task. Future versions will also introduce plink and stunnel as secure channel alternatives.

Re: rsync over sshd

You mention you need beta testers for 2.0...
Where do we signup?

Sending me your mail address should be enough.

I would like to part of the BETA test group for v2, but I cannot find your e-mail address to send you mine. :-)

Re: rsync over sshd

I already have a secure connection using a VPN. Will it be possible to not use cwRsync's security (e.g. sshd) so that I can avoid the extra processing and complexity?

Re: rsync over sshd

Rsync 2.0.0 is released. Built-in openssh server and secure channel wrapper are optional components. You can simply install cwRsync server only and use your VPN as before.

Re: rsync over sshd

That's great news, but I've just tried to install cwRsync2.0.0 on a win2003 server on which I uninstalled cwRsync1.3.0a and, it complained about finding the previous installation.
I guess 2.0.0 found a registry key somewhere - what should I remove?

Installer checks if registry key HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 exists. You can remove it, if you are sure that there is no other cygwin-stuff on your machine.
