Hello, I am having trouble using rsync and ssh from a ubuntu server. Right now I have cynwin64 on my windows 8.1 x64 machine. Right now I have no problems using the rsync command from my local machine to get files from the ubuntu server back to my windows machine, however I would like to have the files "pushed" from my ubuntu machine to my local machine via an opened port over ssh.
I know the IP address of my computer running cygwin and I have set up my router to forward a single port and a range of ports to this machine. I have also changed the windows firewall settings to allow stuff in bound for these ports. I can use my public IP address to access my router web page so this confirms that I am using the correct IP address. I am just not sure if cynwin64 can be used this way. So here is what I am having trouble with: I ssh over the typical port (22 I think) into my ubuntu server which is ~ 4000 miles away and I run the following command rsync --update --ignore-existing --progress -vure 'ssh -p 29501' /home/username/downloads/1/ /k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cygdrive/e/1 This usually gives me the following error rsync: mkdir "/k...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cygdrive/e/1" failed: No such file or directory (2) Thanks -S -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
