Hello, I noticed SvcCOPSSH account was added to my Windows XP Pro. SP2 system. Do I need this account? I would like to delete it if possible since I don't use it.
Thank you in advance. :)

Hi!
I would to put your setup file in my setup.
I can use "Silent installation", but I do not know when the installation is finished.

what then I to make?

In made I would like automatically to create users and mount at the time of the installation.

thank you in advance. :)

Hi,
I am using the default install of cwRsync with OpenSSH. I want to backup each machine into it's own directory within the backup directory. So for example: /backup/computer1 /backup/computer2. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to add a sub-directory onto the path when using the rsync daemon.

rsyncd.conf:

path = /cygdrive/c/backup
read only = false
transfer logging = yes

rsync command on the client:

SET SECHAW_CMD="c:\program files\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe" -auv "/cygdrive/c/documents and settings" Backup_Server::backup

I'm running rsyncd. I've rsynced a filetree from local server to remote.
If I run the same rsync command second time around, I am getting a long filelist from 'building file list ... done' of directories where I am expecting none to appear.

This implies local is different to remote doesn't it ? How can I work out what is wants to sync again ?

If I do the same on a linux box, the second time I run the rsync command no files are listed under the 'building file list ... done' which is what I expect because nothing on local has changed second time round.

Thanks

We have just loaded and begun testing 2.0.4 on a Windows XP (sp1) workstation. The client we are testing with is a Novell Netware 6.5 server running the rsync port.
We have only done preliminary testing, but it seems to sync fine to both the internal hard drive and a firewire attached external drive, however, we have an interesting issue when trying to sync to a NAS which is mounted as a drive letter on the XP box.

If we start rsync as a Windows servers rsync to the NAS failes with the following error: "@ERROR: chdir failed". We have tried changing from ntsec to nontsec, but this did not seem to have any effect.

However, if we stop the service, open the bash prompt and start rsync from the command line using "rsync --daemon --verbose --config=rsyncd.conf" it works fine when syncing to the NAS which raises three questions:

1) Is there a reason it would work one way and not the other?

2) Is there a way to make it work as a windows service?

3) If not, what is the best way to automate starting the service from the bash prompt under windows?

Thanks!

I have a rather strange question:I'm running copssh on win2k3 server and I need to give a user sftp access to its home directory (/copssh/home/sftp_usr, using public key authentication) but cannot allow him to logon using a shell (eg. putty). I don't want the user to execute "ln -s /cygdrive" for instance.

Is there some way to achieve this?
What also may be helpful is to restrict the rights when using a shell.

I do the stannard procedure --> Start --> Programms --> COPSSH --> Activate a user. Then I choose Domain user name and type the user name f.ex. "test". And after that I type the domain name f.ex. "testarea". After that I receive the following message:
mkpasswd (731): Could not find domain controller for this domain. Generate key is /home/test/.ssh/test
processed file: C:\Program Files\copssh\home\test\.ssh\test
No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
chown: ´test:Administrators´: invalid user
chown: ´test:Administrators´: invalid user

I won't doubt this is user error, but here's the problem:
When I execute the client CMD file to initiate a synch, all seems fine as the files are transferred over to the server. Looking at the server, all the files are pulled over correctly. When the transfer "ends", the server rsync.exe process continues to run at 100% CPU load as it did while the transfer was occurring. The client rsync.exe process remains running, but uses 0% of the CPU.

Isn't the client supposed to exit? Why is the server process eating up all of the CPU time?

I've got cwRsync 2.0.4 installed on two Windows XP Pro SP2 machines. Server side rsyncd.conf file is default with this module added:

path = /cygdrive/c/test

read only = false

transfer logging = yes

Client side cwrsync.cmd file is default with this custom command added:

rsync -rv /cygdrive/c/test/ dali::test/upload

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

we have starting backup up some directories to a remote server using rsync and the -e ssh option. it is mostly working fine.
but there appears to be an issue when it tries to sync a directory with lots of folders or files. when the source folder has a lot of files, it will hang somewhere on a line like this:
recv_file_name(archive/CDW3NEW/_vti_cnf)

what is it doing at this point that it hangs? is there a size-limit on the queue it can build? what is going wrong? it will hang there indefinitely, I have left it for several hours and nothing happens.

Greetings,
Wanting to run rsync Windows to Windows through SSH but having an authentication problem. setup as follows:

***Installed cwRsync server on wintest1 (w2k3 server) including OpenSSH service and installed cwRsync client on wintest2 (also w2k3 server). Neither wintest1 or wintest2 are domain members.
rsync and OpenSSH services on server started fine.
***On the client, I generated a private/public key pair using "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
***On the server, in the profile directory for svcwrsync, I created a .ssh directory and in that created an authorized_keys2 file into which I inserted the id_rsa.pub from the client - so I should be able to ssh from the client to the server without the need to enter a password.
***On the client run "ssh svcwrsync@wintest1". I am prompted for a password. I enter the password generated by the installation process for the service account but get "Permission denied".
***The event log on the rsync server indicates "sshd : PID 3468 : Failed password for svcwrsync from 148.145.157.88 port 1082 ssh2."

Any idea where I may be going wrong ?
Many thanks in advance
Tony

Can I get a compiled version including the sftplogging patch ?The default Umask for sftp is strange, as it doesn't allow the owner to execute the files and also includes the None and Everyone groups.

Or is thre any other method to change the Umask for sftp ?
