@ERROR: Unknown module 'cwrsync' rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1171)

Hi,
I have installed cwrsync client on my local machine and cwrsyncserver on the server machine. I need sync packets from one of our onsite team to offshore.
When i run rsync -rav / :: >c:/rsync.log i get the following error
@ERROR: Unknown module 'cwrsync'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1171)

I have confiured rsyncd.conf in the server properly the rsyncd.conf file looks like this
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = ip address of local machine from which i going send files to server
log file = rsyncd.log
pid file = rsyncd.pid

# Module definitions
# Remember cygwin naming conventions : c:\work becomes /cygwin/c/work
#

path = /cygdrive/c/cwrsync
read only = false
transfer logging = yes

Please let me know where i went wrong????

How does your rsync command look like ? You may try the following command:

rsync -av source directories your server::test_rep

I have the same error. The client is an XP, and the server is a virtual XP on an Ubuntu using VMplayer.
I made a redirection so the ubuntu 1873 port is the 873 virtual port.

The command I use is :

C:\Program Files\cwRsync\bin>rsync --port=1873 -razv --delete/cygdrive/C/Program?Files/EasyPHP1-8/www/ 192.168.1.3::www/

Try rsync --port=1873 -razv --delete "/cygdrive/C/Program Files/EasyPHP1-8/www/" 192.168.1.3::www
