aux as filename

Dear, I have to restore a DVD with a copy of a UNIX filesystem on, on a Windows NTFS system. I use for that a cygwin cp. One of the problems is that there are files on that filesystem with names like aux.c, aux.h, and aux.gp. This is a problem because aux is a name reserved by Windows, and beca

rsync windows hang

Trying to get rsync running on Windows. It seems to "hang" when transferring a certain excel spreadsheet. As far as I can tell the spreadsheet is not open by anybody and is copyable using `dd`. Hence, cygwin can read it just fine. Any idea why this might be hanging in rsync? rsync on Windows is us

I just thought of something else. Why not have the setup program have a section where it asks if the user wants to start services like cron and ssh, where there would be the selection box and at the bottom of the GUI it would tell the user to reference the readme files in the doc directory as well

All though this may not be the case here but rsync over ssh is simply unusable under cygwin for the most part. I've tried for years to get it working reliably and its simply not possible I'm afraid. It seems related to the very slow ssh transfer issue and I suspect some low level thing to due w
