  • Installer bug: SvcwRsync account password expires

    Fixed as of version 2.0.4.

  • Time zones
    Post date: Saturday, October 8, 2005 - 02:24

    Has anyone seen any issues with running a two-way Rsync across timezones? My understanding is that rsync uses UTC, but I'm not sure how this works when cygwin is involved.

  • copSSH HPN Performance Tests
    Post date: Friday, October 7, 2005 - 15:23

    Here are the results of test I ran to transfer a 32MB file. In the tests, the ssh server always ran on the W2K3sp1 machine. The 32MB file consisted of 1024 * 1024 * 32 spaces. As such I would have though compression should have given some phenomenal results. Surprisingly it didn't... except in the case of the copSSH-HPN client against copSSH-HPN server.

    • W2K3sp1 w/ dual 1263MHz CPUs and 512MB RAM

    • XPsp2 w/ 433MHz CPU and 128MB RAM

    Copying the 32 MB file from the command line using copy and UNC paths (i.e. w/o ssh) gave the following results:

  • cwRsync 2.0.3 hangs on XP
    Post date: Wednesday, October 5, 2005 - 00:29

    Following up on a previous thread.
    Using an XP SP2 client and server over an SSH tunnel with Bitvise SSHD and Tunnelier.

    Client is using:

    rsync -vv -t -r --no-blocking-io --fuzzy --port=9099 --inplace --exclude-from=/cygdrive/c/docume~1/Thanos~1/MyDocu~1/Settings/backup/nobackup.txt /cygdrive/c/docume~1/Thanos~1/ 127.0.0.1::EpicurusBackup

  • How to mirror relative-path ?
    Post date: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 14:24

    Hi,
    I would like to reproduce the relative-path from Source to Destination when syncing some dirs.
    This seems possible with -R.
    However -R also reproduces the /cygwin/-part that is needed to support local drivers in Windows.
    How can I achieve this without creating this \cygwin\ on my Destination?

    Thanks,

    Erwin

  • High CPU ocuppation starting rsync Automatically
    Post date: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 12:27

    I have installed cwrsync_Server 2.0.3 on a WNT machine, i started it as daemon from the command line and it goes ok. But when i configure the service for Automatic Startup and reset the machine, during startup the cygrunsrv process and the rsync process take a high CPU ocuppation (50 - 70%) and the system slowdown.
    I suspect a possible problem in the start of rsync that is disrupting the cygrunsrv. But i don't know why this problem is not found when i start the service from the command line (net start rsyncserver).

  • Exclude large files
    Post date: Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 06:06

    Hi all,
    I've managed to get rsync working great to replicate about 200gb of data across a 2mb/s pipe to our secondary office. Took an age to catch up with the data, but once there works fine.

    My question is how can i exclude any file that is say bigger than 30mb?

  • Client and Server on Windows 2003 Hang
    Post date: Sunday, October 2, 2005 - 05:51

    I have a Windows 2003 server that I am trying to use both as an Rsync server and client. It's basically an intermediary server for nodes on my network to backup to and then acts as a client to push all of the files off to a remote location.
    Everything seems to be installed and working fine but when using the client (which was installed before server) to backup local files, the job starts without a problem but within a few minutes the server becomes non-responsive (no ping, etc.). I only have remote desktop access to the server and it doesn't have a monitor on it, but when the problem occurs it completely dies from a connectivity perspective and I have to perform a hard restart to bring it up again.

    I'm trying to replicate the scenario on a local machine running Windows XP Pro (only difference is that the server was installed first) but cannot seem to duplicate the error. Short of hanging a monitor off of the machine, which is difficult, does anyone have any suggestions?

  • 2nd login prompt - wrong user name

    I have installed cwRsync and configured it to connect from a WinXP client to a Linux box.

This is not the user I am using to connect to the Linux box with. Any ideas? config and output below:

  • copSSH HPN problems
    Post date: Friday, September 30, 2005 - 15:39

    I'm doing rudimentary performance testing... and figured I'd try out: Copssh-1.3.5-HPN-test-Installer.zip

    So, I uninstalled CopSSH 1.3.5 and installed it. Then activated a local sftp_user account.

    Afterwords ssh, scp, etc. don't work.

    They exit almost immediately.

    Here's what I get when I run with the -vvv switch:

  • PKA - Unable to use key file
    Post date: Friday, September 30, 2005 - 01:21

I activated the user, copied the key file to my local machine, and tried to connect using PuTTY. When I do I get an error message stating that CopSSH is unable to use the key file.

    I have installed copSSH on a Win2003 server but I can't activate users. It tells me there is no Administrator, even though that user shows up in the user listing.
    I get the following:

    ?###############################

    Activate a user for copssh

    Do you want to activate a (l)ocal or a (d)omain user ?l

    Enter a user account for activation : Administrator
    User account Administrator does not seem to exist on this machine.
    You have to create it first. Exit!
    Press a key to continue ...

    Would be grateful for any help, thanks. I previously installed it on a different Win2003 server and it worked just fine.

  • Hostkey and Cluster
    Post date: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 - 08:13

    Hi there, I got a problem with the SSH.
    Our environments:

    SSH client is on HP-UX
    SSH Server is the COPSSH on Win2k cluster.

    We connect to Win2K cluster by using the cluster resource name, not physical name.

    If the Win2K cluster resource faild over, we keep getting errors saying hostkey changed. I think this is because the physical nodes have different COPSSH build and hostkey finger prints are different.

    Is there anyone know how to fix this ?

    Thanks vey much.

    Post date: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 16:48

    hi all
    i could get to work on the both sides rsync between my win2K box and my sarge box

    the command from my sarge box is

    sudo -S /usr/bin/rsync -aurv 192.168.0.50::master_profile /home/master/

    the module is well registered on the win box and i have featured host allow to 192.168.0.77 (sarge box)

    the stuff is about a possible vulnerability :
    fxscanner could get the modules name from the win box
    so if i switch off the sarge box and put a laptop giving the sarge's ip 192.168.0.77
    so i can synchronize the win box to my laptop
