Hidden files on destination with Rsync
Hi. I have an Western Digital network drive My Book World Edition 500GB.. I have installed cwrsync and try to sync a folder on my local machine(Windows Vista) to my my external network drive ( in the same LAN). The strange thing is that rsync copies folders and files, but the files seems to be HIDDEN at the destination. I have tried several versions of rsync and cygwin, and also several options on rsync, but I still got the problem. Anyone who can help me with this?

Use the example batch file to set up communication properly OR try to set SET CYGWIN=NONTSEC before activating rsync.

 Thanks tev..  I have tried that. I have also tried rsync with the ACL patch. I guess that the "read only" and the "hidden" attributes should be transfered from the source to the destination using the ACL patch. Is that right?

 Could this be a cygwin problem? When I am transfering files from my Vista PC to lets say another XP PC, rsync works fine. Its just the network drive that fails by setting all the files to "hidden". The shares on my network drive is set up with full permissions for everyone...

Re: Hidden files on destination with Rsync

If it works on XP and not on Vista, it should be something related to Vista. What rsync command syntax do you use ?
