According to http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html:
Cygwin supports both Win32- and POSIX-style paths, where directory
delimiters may be either forward or back slashes. UNC pathnames
(starting with two slashes and a network name) are also supported.
However, this doesn't seem to work with rsync.
rsync will fail when sing Win32-style paths (it tries to connect via SSH):
$ rsync -v C:\1 C:\2
The source and destination cannot be both remote.
rsync error: syntax or usage eror (code 1) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.9/main.c(1068) [receiver=2.6.9]
It works fine with cygwin paths:
$ rsync -v /cygdrive/c/1 /cygdrive/c/2
1
sent 150 bytes received 42 bytes 384.00 bytes/sec
total size is 68 speedup is 0.35
Why does it fail with Win32-paths?
Is is possible to use rsync.exe with Win32 and/or UNC paths?
