Problem

I use rsync to sync files between a local directory and a remote host. I also use plink to automate my SSH passphase entry. What I can't figure out is how to use rsync with plink. This is what I think the syntax should be: But I get "Access Denied" messages. Is there a way to do this? Is it simple?…

Error Output

rsync -args --rsh="plink user@remote" local_dir/ :/remote_dir

Low Risk

It seems to be an incompatibility in stdin/stdout redirection between cygwin and native Win32 programs. Someone has managed to make a wrapper that solves the problem: http://diario.beerensalat.info/2009/08/18/new_cygnative_version_1_2_for_rsync_plin…
