Hello,
I'm trying to use rsync over SSH without the "-e ssh" option. The idea
is to make rsync --daemon bind on the loopback on the Cygwin box and to
connect to this box with a tunnel:
ssh -L 873:localhost:873 u...@cygwin_box
On the Cygwin Box, the file /etc/rsync.conf contains:
[d_drive]
read only = yes
path = /cygdrive/d/
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1
To backup the Cygwin box, this simple command should do the trick:
rsync -avz localhost::d_drive /path
This is a simple use of a SSH tunnel.
Unfortunately, on the cygwin box, rsync sees the loopback connection
(from the SSH tunnel) from its own public IP address instead of "127.0.0.1".
So the /etc/rsync.conf should be:
[d_drive]
read only = yes
path = /cygdrive/d/
hosts allow = <real_IP_address_instead_of_loopback_address>
It works but I'd like to backup a lot of Cygwin boxes and having to fill
the "hosts allow" line with a non-generic static value is quite disturbing.
How can I make rsync seeing local/tunnel connections as "127.0.0.1"?
Regards,
Nicolas
