It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. Please notice that 2.6.9-1 rsync has a security bug that might (or might not) affect you, depending on your use case. http://secunia.com/advisories/26493/ This rsync-2.6.9-2 package containing a patch to this problem. If you're not sure what version do you have you can use the following command to both check version number and integrity of the install: % cygcheck -c rsync If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
