I had sent a message to the list earlier this week detailing an error message I am getting using rsync on Cygwin on Windows 2000. I have now duplicated the problem on another windows 2000 server. I have a third server on which the process works, so I don't really know what is going wrong. All three servers are rsyncing to the same Linux server. Below is the original question. Any help would be appreciated.
The error is this: Invalid file index <some number> (count=<some number>) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c (135) The command line I'm using to start this is: c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -aR -e c\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe -v --numeric-ids --exclude-from=/cydrive/c/ssh/rsync-ex cludes.txt --dry-run --delete --delete-after /cygdrive/c root at backupserver:/ rsync-excludes.txt contains things like: -PEACHW/ -WINPOINT/ -PNTDATA/ : : At first I thought that maybe my file list was getting too long, but I changed my excludes so that I had a file list that I knew was short enough and I still get the error. I get the error on different files depending on what I have excluded, but if I run the same command twice, I get the error in the exact same spot. Thanks in advance for any help. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
