rsync client on WinXP

[olson2cm]

First Off: I'd like to know if anyone has successfully used rsync as a client on Windows XP?!?!

Here's the dilema: I have a webserver running on a Linux box of mine, which has a directory set up for an online photo album. I'd like to automatically have the directory on the webserver updated from my photos directory on my XP box. Some of you may ask why I ust don't put the photos on the linux box. Basically I'm looking to have a backup of all my photo's in case something was to happen to one of my disks.

Now, so far I have tried rsync 2.4.6 on WinXP, as well as a nifty looking little program called Sync2NAS with no luck. I have set up a rsync share on my linux box (which is an rsync server) called gallery, and I can connect to it locally and send files to and from it no problem. However, my windows box will not connect.

Here is what rsync gives me now:

Could not create directory '"e:/Image Library One"/.ssh'.
Host key not found from the list of known hosts.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts ("e:/Image Library One"/.ssh/k
nown_hosts).
Creating random seed file ~/.ssh/random_seed. This may take a while.
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
execv /bin/sh failed: No such file or directory
Write failed: errno ESHUTDOWN triggered
read error: Connection reset by peer

However, if I do "rsync myserver::" I get back a list of the rsync shares on myserver, including "gallery"

I'm lost on what else to do... If any of you have successfully used rsync on Windows, please give me some tips 🙂

Thanks in advance
