Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't test rsync connection as suggested WinXP

[Diaz R. E. <ed...@pk...>]

Do you have other error too, the path don't will don't run because you must use the small from (less of 8 chars) for windows

- please use MYDOCS~1 for path. and the firts thest use a short form of short path C:/temp for example

- test from your linux backuppc server: telnet 192.168.0.168 873
if you get the connect the firewall is not the problem.

list = fals????, what is this???, delete this line.
