Re: problem on windows XP

[Julian P. R. <jul...@gm...>]

OK used a proper certificate file and it is now working fine and I like

In the near future I will be implementing a backup solution using 
rsyncrypto, so I will send some feedback maybe it will help the 
development / ideas.
Thanks & well done.
