ITeF!x Rsync with user authorization on Windows

Question

I'm trying to setup a Rsync server with user authorization on Windows. I'm not sure that it's possible, because of the lack of documentation. Has anyone suceeded in doing that with IteF!x Rsync?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible to setup a ITef!x Rsync Server with user authorization on Windows. A example module configuration would be:

[test]

path = /cygdrive/C/Test
comment = Test module for user authorization
read only = false
auth users = john
secrets file = /cygdrive/c/rsync.secrets
    GID=0
    UID=0

The "secrets file" must contain one line like this:

john:foo

Where "foo" is the password for user "john". Then to access the module a command like this will work:

rsync.exe -v /cygdrive/c/testfile.txt john@rsyncserver::test
