Hi, First post to the list, so please feel free to set me straight if I'm not following some protocol or other :o)
We need to use rsync to send files to a client, being a Windows user, we decided to try both the cwrsync implementation and also a straight cygwin/rsync install. I'm experiencing the following errors: using cygwin implementation: $ sh clientupload.sh /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/ Sending files... Sending /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/: building file list ... 25 files to consider ERROR: buffer overflow in recv_exclude_list rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(121) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/io.c(515) using cwrsync: C:\cwrsync>rsync --rsh="ssh" --recursive --times --partial --exclude=".*" -- verbose --progress --stats /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/* server-up:content/client/ building file list ... 24 files to consider ERROR: buffer overflow in recv_exclude_list rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(121) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515) Some other attempts at getting some sensible error messages: C:\cwrsync>rsync --rsh="ssh" --verbose --progress --stats --dry-run /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/* server-up:content/client/ skipping directory /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/CHR_BAH25.itmsp skipping directory /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/CHR_CDANA53.itmsp ERROR: buffer overflow in recv_exclude_list rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(121) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515) C:\cwrsync>rsync --rsh="ssh" --verbose --progress --stats --dry-run /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/* server-up:content/client/ skipping directory /cygdrive/c/batch1/ready/. Invalid file index 1095567365 (count=0) rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(152) I've spent many happy hours googling and searching, as well as modifying the options, but am at a complete loss as to where the problem might lie, whether it's client side, server side or some linux/windows incompatibility. We desperately need to find a solution, so any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance Murray -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
