Why is this rsync connection unexpectedly closed on Windows?

I'm trying to use rsync on Windows 7. I installed cwRsync and tried to connect to Ubuntu 9.04.

$ rsync -azC --force --more-options ./ user@server:/my/path/

Solution

  • i get the solution. i've using cygwin and this is the problem the rsync command for Windows work only in windows shell and works in the windows powershell.

    A few times it has happened the same error between two linux boxes. and appears to be by incompatible versions of rsync
