Hello,
I currently have a problem about rsync and long file name
limit in RSYNC. I used rsync+ssh for backup remote windows server. The
problem that I would like to know if you have new version or a path
avaible to solve this problem about the max length 260 characters.


For this error :building file list ... skipping overly long name:

I found since the rsync version 2.6.7 you have increase the buffer size
for solve some problems with cygwin. Also I have installed the last
version of cynwin and replace for the last version of  cwrsync 2.6.9 and
I have the same problem again.

Cut for rsync 2.6.7 news

 - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).

I found your answer on malling list :
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00395.html

So did you have a solution for that


As the posting above that you referenced indicates, there is no solution for
this that will work with Win9x/Me versions of Windows.  There is the solution
mentioned for other Windows versions but it's quite some work to make this
happen.  Since Cygwin is dropping support for Win9x/Me versions, it's now
more reasonable to solve this problem but <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>.
