cwRsync comes as a zip archive containing a Nullsoft Installer package. Unzip downloaded file and run cwRsync_x.x.x_Installer.exe or cwRsync_Server_x.x.x_Installer.exe (server version) :
- Click Next at Welcome-page
- View license agreement.
- Select components that varies depending on package type: Client package has an optional component (Secure Channel Wrapper & Wizard). It makes creation of secure channels to cwrsync servers an easy task.
- Specify an installation location.
- (cwRsyncServer only) Specify a service account.
- Installation starts. By clicking 'Details' button, you can get more detailed information about installation. Check if everything seems ok.
You're DONE! cwRsync is installed on your machine.
cwRsync server only
You should update the configuration file according to your needs. If you have defined uploadable modules (read only = false), you have to make sure that Rsync Server has correct permissions on directories behind those modules. You can use Prep a Dir for Upload wizard from the start menu for that purpose.
cwRsync installs rsync server as a service (RsyncServer) with following parameters :
--config rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach
Default start mode is manual.
Usage
Client installation includes a batch file starting rsync in a right environment. You can customize it according to your needs. Man pages in html format are also available from start menu. cwRsync FAQs from this site can also be helpful.
In addition, as rsync people suggest, you can try Google for resources :-) I give also some pointers to rsync website :
