That seems unlikely: this is an incredibly generic error, and there are *many* possible causes for it. I've never heard of version incompatibilities causing this sort of behaviour, and if they did, I'd expect that would be very widely documented. I'd expect the versions would need to differ much more substantially before that would cause an issue. At this point, I don't think there's any evidence there's a problem with Cygwin itself, or with the rsync packaging for Cygwin; this looks like a problem with either your server setup or your rsync configuration. As such -- at least unless I've missed something that points to it being a problem with Cygwin or the Cygwin rsync package in particular -- I think we're rapidly veering off topic for the Cygwin mailing list. > Would it help if I create a login for you on the server so > you can try doing an rsync yourself? If you can provide steps by which someone could set up their own ssh+rsync server and reproduce this problem, you might be able to get further help on some other open source forum. If those steps necessarily require Cygwin, you might even be able to get further help on this mailing list. I'm afraid, however, that connecting to your server to help diagnose problems there is the sort of thing you probably need to pay someone to do.
