Thanks to all who have replied so far - as Herb says, the cygwin+sshd +rsync combo is extremely useful, not least in that it allows my client PC's to simply run sshd as a very efficient (ie resource unintensive) background service, requiring no further user intervention (A Good Thing™). Wor

Hi Ged, Thanks for the info, due to being on a University campus, we are restricted in what we are allowed to set up and VPN's are one of those explicitly mentioned :-( However, since OsX has a built in VPN server, I will perhaps have a covert test of this if I can get rsyncd to play nice

Hi Steve, Hmmm, thanks for confirming what I pessimistically suspected but optimistically hoped to be corrected on. Unfortunately our data files are frequently in the 3-4Gb range so it sounds like SFU is unlikely to be an option either. Would like to persist with cygwin as we use it for s

rsync over ssh and cygwin don't play nice and likely never will. Either avoid using rsync or use it in daemon mode avoiding ssh which is where the problem really lies ( the interaction between rsync and ssh ). A good alternative to cygwin for this is SFU but be aware that most versions only suppo
