Rsync from mac x 10.8 server to windows 2008 server

Mike.IT · 11-02-2012, 07:45 PM

Sorry if this question was answered before.

I tried Winscp, Grsync, Copssh, Openssh, and Cygwin on the Windwows server. I can't figure out how to Rsync files from my mac to windows.

I tried Winscp from windows to mac and it worked great, but the problem is I need to do a cron job, so that all the files are synchronized daily.

The first problem i need to figure out is the connection from my mac server to windows server using the mac terminal.

If anyone can help me on this or refer me to a company that can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I use DeltaCopy server for my RSYNC needs on Windows.

I'll definitely give it a try and let you know how it works.

DeltaCopy did not work. I'm trying to ssh to the windows server from my mac terminal. The connection times out every time. I already opened up port 22 on the windows firewall inbound traffic. Copssh and cwrsync is already installed on the windows. What am I doing wrong here?

Rsync (deltacopy) uses port 873 as per the info here
