I am running rsyncrypto under windows/cygwin, to encrypt and then using rsync/cygwin to rsync to another box runinng rsyncserver (under windows/cygwin) rsync works fine if I don't encrypt with rsyncrypto If I encrypt with rsyncrypto and then rsync the resulting files, I get rename errors: examples of some of the errors: rsync: rename "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Application Data/Microsoft/Office/Recent/.monitor.mdb.LNK.HHGv2l" (in os) -> "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Application Data/Microsoft/Office/Recent/monitor.mdb.LNK": No such file or directory (2) rsync: rename "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Recent/.email2db.lnk.2JotZb" (in os) -> "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Recent/email2db.lnk": No such file or directory (2) rsync: rename "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Recent/.monitor.mdb.lnk.VyY2o9" (in os) -> "df/ed/c/Documents and Settings/ed/Recent/monitor.mdb.lnk": No such file or directory (2) they all seem to windows .lnk (shortcut) files If I look at the properties of the encrypted .lnk files before sending, I get "This is not a valid shortcut" any ideas? |

Hi Durham, I usually don't make comments about such things, but the font you are using is extremely ill suited for deciphering technical information. Please help me try to help you.

I'll just add that, while I'm aware that a cygwin port of rsyncrypto is, theoretically, possible with the current sources, I have never tested it. > rsync works fine if I don't encrypt with rsyncrypto Does rsyncrypto work fine if you do not try to run rsync?

Please do an "ls -l" (from cygwin) of the directory, both with the original and with the encrypted files. Also, please post the full rsyncrypto and rsync command line you are using. > they all seem to windows .lnk (shortcut) files Are they? > > If I look at the properties of the encrypted .lnk files before sending, > I get "This is not a valid shortcut" Is that the link before or after rsyncrypto encrypts it?

I think what's going on is that the rsyncrypto he's using is unaware that cygwin uses a .lnk file to simulate a symbolic link. That would indicate a native Windows rsyncrypto.
