Please help : Strange 'file has vanished' behaviour with rsync on windows. I need to run rsync on windows and sync shares thru UNC names. When I try : rsync -e ssh -av //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. rsync does a copy but says "file has vanished" for every file. Then when I run: rsync -e ssh -av --dry-run //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. it shows me all the files-- indicating that all are out of sync.
I need to encode logic to transfer only when needed, and this is not helping. On the other hand, just to test, if I did a copy without going to network, rsync -e ssh -av /cygdrive/c/myshare1/dir1/* /cygdrive/c/myshare1/dir2/. and then run: rsync -e ssh -av --dry-run //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. it shows me no files --indicating that the dirs are in sync. I would have to use UNCs to copy. Is there a bug that I am encountering? How do I make things work?
