How can I make pre-exec and post-exec work ?

As of version 2.6.7, rsync server can kick scripts before and after transfers. You can use the recipe below to implement this very handy functionality in cwrsync server:

1. Install Copssh and Cwrsync Server.
2. Start a windows command shell from cwrsync start menu and make a copy of bash.exe as sh.exe in the bin directory.
   
   

   copy bin\bash.exe bin\sh.exe

3. Create two script files in the bin directory for pre-exec operations:
   
   

   c:\program files\ICW\bin\pre-exec.sh

   
   
   

   # Shell script for your pre-exec operations
   cmd /c "c:\program files\ICW\bin\pre-exec.cmd"
   exit 0

   
   
   

   
   c:\program files\ICW\bin\pre-exec.cmd

   
   
   

   
   @ECHO OFF
   .....

4. Create two script files for post-exec operations as described above.
5. Update your rsyncd.conf file:
   
   

   
   
   

   
   # Module definitions
   
   path = .....
   ......
   pre-xfer exec = /bin/pre-exec.sh
   post-xfer exec = /bin/post-exec.sh
