Re: Cygwin Problems on Vista (Install and others)


rsync problems on Vista cygwin:

My cygwin on Vista seems to work but when I try to do rsync to fixup files
on my ftp server, it chokes with lots of errors and does a bizarre reset of
the permission bits for the destination folder.  Here's what happens:
[this is the same rsync command that works fine on XP]:

===========================
$ rsync -avz --stats --progress -e ssh . mylogin@myftp.com:/mypath/wherever/
mylogin@myftp.com's password: xxxxxx
building file list ...
8 files to consider
./
rsync: failed to modify permissions on "/mypath/wherever/.": Permission
denied (13)
rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mypath/wherever/firstfile.xxx":
Permission denied (13)
rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mypath/wherever/secondfile.xxx":
Permission denied (13)
...etc...
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/mypath/wherever/." failed: Permission denied
(13)
*** Skipping everything below this failed directory ***

...etc...stats...then...

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/main.c(791)
=============================

Then after I have done this, I find that the remote directory has had all
its permission bits turned off (chmod 0) and the files in the folder are not
sync'd.  As I said, this is a sequence I have used many times on XP and
continues to work there.

Any suggestions?

PS I also got and fixed the mkpasswd problem as below. cygwin starts without
errors on Vista but then behaves as described above.
