I am writing a program on Windows (XP Pro) that as part of the application takes advantage of rsync's ability to synchronize a client and server computer. However, because of the nature of our company's policies and our proxy, I must connect using SSH and use it as a tunnel to get to the location I need on the inside.
My delimma is that I need to be able to spawn a process that uses the SSH, runs rsync, and then I need to be able to kill the SSH process and do not know a way to do that in Windows. I also would prefer to have SSH run invisible to the end user (no new window) which I get when using spawnl The commands I am running are as follows: SSH Tunnel: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -i file_name -L 873:200.200.60.60:7000 -N Rsync Command: rsync -azv [EMAIL PROTECTED]::package . I am aware that you should be able to run ssh inside of rsync but there seems to be a problem with the port of rsync that prevents me from accomplishing this. I thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to give. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
