I'm not aware of any - and I just updated my Cygwin install to make sure the bug is still there. It does work the other direction - that is, if you issue the 'rsync -essh ...' command on the Cygwin/Windows box with the remote side running Linux/unix. It can copy either direction when invoked this way - the specific bug has to do with the cygwin rsync running under sshd. Just guessing, I'd say something is wrong in the buffering and both sides end up waiting for each other. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
