newb prob with "user"

thanks for the tip
so i have uninstalled cwrsyncserver, rebooted the comp and cleaned the registry
then i have installed again without the openssh module

then editing the rsyncd.conf and added :

##################################################################
# documents and settings (mo)
##################################################################

path = /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/mo/
read only = true
transfert = yes
##################################################################

then i runned the PreUploadDir.exe and enabled the directory c:\Documents and Settings\mo to be synchronized

on the linux box, as root i gave the command :
rsync -ruvvv 192.168.0.50::mo_documents_and_settings /home/mo/documents_and_settings

and all seems to be fine

thanks again for the help.

just for a better understanding, the network protocole is tcp/ip and all the traffic is on clear text
if i want to do the same using ssh i should install an ssh daemon on the win box as openssh
then i should initiate a tunnel from the linux box eg : port 2200 to the win box port 22 redirecting to the 873 ?
then the command should be from the linux box :
localhost:2200::mo_documents_and_settings /home/mo/documents_and_settings

is it right ?

thanks
best regards
