I get an error with cygwin rsync trying to transfer files between 64bit windows and 64bit linux. Both machines have rsync 3.0.7 installed. I'm running rsync with ssh (no daemon involved). I see that the connection to the remote box is established, but rsync dies after authentication and before file transfer.
What could cause this problem?
