Hi- I've been trying to setup an rsync server on a WinXP box so that I can sync files between my desktop and laptop. I'm starting rsync as:
rsync --server --daemon --no-detach . from a command prompt. but I can never connect to it -- even "telnet localhost 873" doesn't work. It seems that rsync is listening on stdin, rather than listening on a socket. When I type at it I immediately get an error message -- @ERROR: protocol startup error Is there anything special I need to do to convince rsync to use a socket instead of stdin/stdout? The only info I can find in the documentation says that in daemon mode it will test stdin in to see if it is a socket. Presumably it is failing this test, and therefore should be starting its own socket, right? -Matthew -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
