Hoping to use Pageant
with rsync so I don't have to make or use passwordless keys, I was
bummed to find out that 5 years of internet time have brought nobody
close to being able to fix whatever incompatibility currently prevents
cwRsync from talking correctly to plink.
The best guess? Binary-vs-text mode incompatibility, or line ending differences between cygwin ssh and win32 plink. I'd buy that. And apparently way off the care radar.
This brings me back to my general rant about there being no native windows rsync for win32. I did see a python port attempt though. That would be worth doing.
