rsync to synchronize to a XP Computer.

[Kipton Moravec]

I have a big shared directory on my Ubuntu Computer. (About 80 GB)

My Windows XP computer has a big disk, that is not very full. 

Under the Places menu I can see the Windows C: directory system with
smb://main/c/ on my Ubuntu Computer.

I tried to get Simple Backup to do it, it checks the destination path as
O.K. but does not run every day at 2:00 a.m. like I want. It did when
the local system was the destination, not the Windows computer.

So then I decided to just copy the files. For some reason even though I
have a 10/100 card in both computers and a 10/100 switch between them, I
am only getting about 200kb - 1MB per second transfer and it says it
will take 24 hours to transfer the data.

So I am doing a straight copy for now.


I can't figure out the syntax for rsync to copy.

I thought it should be 
sudo rsync --delete -azvv -e ssh /home/backup/Work smb://main/c/backupw

or

sudo rsync --delete -azvv -e /home/backup/Work smb://main/c/backupw

But that does not work. What is wrong? Or does rsync not work with a
windows filesystem as a remote host.

I also tried grsync and Unison no luck.
