[Mingw-users] rsync and ssh

[Magnus D. <da...@op...>]

Hi all,

I've made some modifications to rsync, and now I'm able to compile
the code with mingw under msys. The binary produced - a stripped down 
version of rsync seems to work correctly against rsync servers. Great!

Next step is to support the --rsh option, ie start a new process
with ssh and then redirect stdin/stdout to that process.
I've made some code and I now have serious headache with CreatePipe(),
PeekNamedPipe(), CreateProcess() and non-blocking I/O. Big fun.

I'm trying to use the pre-compiled openssh-client shipped with msysDTK.

Could someone recommend me some open source project that does this
tunneling-thing under windows?

Or some wise words like "do it like this" would speed up the process.

Thanks!
