Re: Recursive copy problem in cygwin

[Marco van Beek]

Hi,

We used to run Cygwin on Windows 2000 so that we could use rsync to sync 
files between a Linux box and a Windows box. We found that something in 
the set-up had problems with the combined length of directories and 
filenames but we never got to the bottom of it.

I have no idea if this is relevant, but I thought I would mention it.

Regards,

Marco.
