rsync on win32 is flakey, and probably always has been. I used it for about a year at my previous job for backups, it worked most of the time but often the initial transfer took several tries, provided the amount of data was limited it was usually successful. if its a one time copy then I reccomend using tar. also, pushing the files to a linux box instead of pulling them from(that is, initiating the rsync from the remote side) seemed more reliable for me at the time. I used the cygwin distribution on win32, and compiled a new version of rsync from source though the end results weren't all that much different, enough of a difference to rely upon it more or less though. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
