Re: [BackupPC-users] no ssh access backuppc server to Windows 7 client

Tim,

default port and protocol for ssh connections is 22 TCP, not UDP.

I recommend you to use a general cygwin installation, not only a package "cygwin-rsyncd for windows". I usually install cygwin on windows servers, and install packages like openssh, and rsyncd for rsync transmissions, or create scripts on bash for other backups tasks (database exports,.. etc). When you install cygwin, there are logs on /var/log that could give you more information for errors.

You could try connect from backup server, with ssh options like -vvv for more detailed log.

Think about change installation "cygwin-rsyncd" by a fresh and complete installation of cygwin environment.

for Tim Evans,
Yes, ssh and rsyncserver are running on the Windows client. Thank you.

for Adrian Ruiz,

I'll have to check but, I thought that it was a TCP port (22) I setup as an inbound route. (Might have been UDP, too many years away from Windows clients, too use to Linux, I'll check.) Thank you.

to anyone,
I am still interested in knowing if I can check a log file that will help me, either on the Windows client or the Backuppc server. Anyone?

Did you start the SSHD service on the PC? See
