Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good & free rsync type program for Windows platforms? Like most of us, I need to work on both Windows & Linux environments, and would like to sync some data (music, videos, photos, documents, thunderbird profiles, FF bookmarks, etc) between a USB HDD, my Linux (CentOS + KDE) PC, and Windows Laptop at the office.

Cygwin allows you to run rsync in Windows. Cygwin allows you to use many if not all GNU tools such as ssh, bash... There are of course minor issues due to the differences in the FAT/NTFS vs. ext file systems, most of which are masked by Cygwin.
