rsync to windows (cygwin)
- by abergmeier
We have a windows file storage (don't ask) and now I want to rsync with the machine from Windows, Mac and Linux.
So I installed freeSSHd (login shell is set to C:/cygwin64/bin/sh.exe), set up certificates and testing from Linux the test.dat has 0 bytes:
ssh myuser@winmachinename "C:/cygwin64/bin/true.exe" > test.dat
Even double checking with actual output works fine:
ssh myuser@winmachinename "C:/cygwin64/bin/ls.exe" > test.dat
Now, when I call rsync:
rsync --progress -avz -e ssh myuser@winmachinename:/c/Users ~/test
it fails with:
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(174) [Receiver=3.1.0]
As far as reading the docs, this should not happen, when the first test is successful!?
I am by now out of ideas - any recommendations how to debug this?
EDIT:
| OS | rsync version |
|:--------------|:------------------------------------------|
| Windows | rsync version 3.0.9 protocol version 30 |
| Linux | rsync version 3.1.0 protocol version 31 |
