Hi Windows rsync users, Just a brief note to tell you that at least for me I get permission problems with the Cygwin port of rsync. It works fine but always sets the date to the system date. I know you can use the archive option to prevent that but all that does is generate an error and still scrambles the original file dates. I looked for a more native port but found none. There is another port with just the necessary Cygwin dll files that sort of worked but still had the same permission problems. I haven't found a solution. I'm on Windows 98 so maybe XP is better about this but my reading of the various Windows ports indicates otherwise. I have to thank David here though. Once I learned about Rsync, I found it to be one of the best tools I've ever used. It's great for copying drives, synchronizing files, or anything else. Now, if I could only get Samba working so well! :-) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.407 / Virus Database: 268.12.9/457 - Release Date: 9/26/06
