My goal is to set up an rsync server so that I can efficiently transfer files from one server to a workstation with a command line script. I have managed to set this up quite simply,, but now I want to be a little more surgical in what the script backs-up.
Imagine I have a directory structure like this Main Folder |_______Folder to be transferred | |_______Folder to be hidden My goal is to have a single line script that runs on a workstation to transfer all of the files and sub-folders from the "Main Folder" except for files and folders that I set a "deny" permission for. I can then change what files the user will received just by adding or changing folder permissions. I tried to achieve this by running the rsync daemon as a service, and using a user account as the log on for the service. Then I denied access to the folder by that username, but when I run the script it still manages to download the entire contents of the "Main Folder". I don't understand a lot about services and the rsync daemon, so I might be barking up the wrong tree with the log on approach for the rsync daemon service. I hope I have described all of this clearly enough. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Controlling-the-files-that-rsync-can-see-in-Windows.-tp14246511p14246511.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
