export RSYNC_PROXY=username:password@proxyhost:proxyport
 
Sometimes port 873 is blocked. In this case, you can use ssh port tunneling and the program <code>nc</code>
(netcat) to redirect an open port.
== Cygwin permission problems on Windows ==
but it should have been set automatically by mtx-update.lua. If you experience this problem, please report.
