using unison with bitvise

Question

I am trying to use unison to sync a Windows machine (via ssh, cygwin) with a Windows Server 2012R2 machine (via sshd, cygwin).

I would like to switch fully over to using Bitvise Client and Server to make use of the obfuscation feature but I am facing problems getting unison to accept sexec.exe as the ssh executable.

I see an old post https://fogbugz.bitvise.com/default.asp?Tunnelier.2.9937.3 describing the use of a batch file without further details.

My question is, have anyone made unison work with sexec.exe from Bitvise?

Answer 1

I found the answer, thanks to Denis Bider, developer of Bitvise.

For the unison profile, point sshcmd to a batch file ssh.cmd. ssh.cmd:

@ECHO OFF
[path to sexec.exe] [connection parameters] unison -server
