seems like your rsync path is not in a standard path. If you add rsync-path with the path of rsync that is installed on server, it should work Sample command rsync --rsync-path=/opt/software/bin/rsync -avz -e ssh test-u...@test.server.com:/user/test /cygdrive/c/test -- View this message in co

Mount Windows C drive as POSIX root?

2012-10-17 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
I understand about not installing cygwin in c:\. But I really want a single filesystem, so cygwin's / is Windows c:/, and cygwin /Program\ Files is Windows /Program Files and so on. I have an environment with lots of non-cygwin tools and translating paths between them is not workable. I'm not

Hi, For various reasons, I cannot switch to rxvt or similar, and am stuck using the cygwin bash shell (which runs on top of the dos cmd window). Here, the background color defaults to black and foreground to light. I reversed this using the dos window -> Properties -> Colors. However the bold c
