The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help me get cwrsync working

Asked by spectra-qest in rSync Backup Utility, SSH / Telnet Software, CYGWIN

Tags: cwrsync, rsync, Windows, Windows Server, Windows Server 2008, backup, file sync, remote sync, SSH

I have a cwrsync server on a Windows Server 2003 machine and a cwrsync client on another Windows Server 2003 machine, on a local network behind a DSL router, working fine with and without SSH. However when I try to do it over the Internet, I run into troubles. The remote system is using Server 2008 if that makes any difference. I used the Secure Channel Wizard to make a batch file to sync in both instances, and it works on the local network. But not over the 'net.

I thought it might be to do with the names of the systems, as the name of the system that cwrsync server is set up on is not resolvable outside this network, so I added a DNS entry for the domain to point to the network so it was resolvable outside the network as well as inside (it just points to the gateway outside), and it made no difference. Port 22 is forwarded and I can use putty to get an ssh terminal from both inside and outside the network.

What happens is rsync gives me an error:
rsync: failed to connect to [pc.domain.tld]: Connection timed out (116)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [sender=3.0.6]
So does that mean that the ssh is being established and is working fine and rsync on the other side is sending back an error? Or is it an error from the local rsync? Or what?

While implementing this, I've learned a bit about ssh, pki and rsync, but it's been a massive pain every step of the way.

Can anyone help?
