Trying to copy a fairly large directory tree from a SunOS system to a Windows system using rsync 3.0.8 as the server and cwRsync 3.0.9 on the client.


The client reports the following:

----------
$ ./rsync --port=8873 remotehost::module /x
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(614) [Receiver=3.0.9]
----------

The client log shows the following:

----------

----------

The rsyncd.conf file contains this:

----------
port = 8873
pid file = ./rsyncd.pid
log file = ./rsyncd.log
use chroot = no

[module]
        path = /path/to/filesystem/contents

----------

The rsync daemon is running as a user process, not root (hence the need to disable chroot).

I won't discount a configuration error ... this is a brand new rsync install on the system.
