rsync.conf file for Cygwin environments

You should definitely refer to the official rsync website for the real documentation on configuring the rsyncd.conf file.

Locate your /etc folder under where you installed Cygwin. Since I installed Cygwin to C:\bin\cygwin, my /etc folder is C:\bin\cygwin\etc. For a fresh install, you'll need to create the "rsyncd.conf" file in that folder (C:\bin\cygwin\etc\rsyncd.conf).

(minimal rsyncd.conf file)

use chroot = false

strict modes = false

log file = rsyncd.log



[test]

path = /cygdrive/d/rsync/test

read only = false

transfer logging = yes
