Hi Gary, It looks like the problem occurs after rsync has transferred the file and is renaming the temporary file to the actual name. I am guessing that the HP media vault has Samba running on it, and it is actually denying access.
As a long show, you could try --inplace, which will mean rsync does not need to rename the file. aF On 23/07/2010, at 11:04 AM, Gary Johnson wrote: > I have a PC on which I run Windows XP and Cygwin 1.5.
