Thanks for your reply Larry, I will continue with the cwRsync guys.
The 'advantage' of a package like cwRsync is that most Windows users
wouldn't understand or want to dabble with a cywgin install and the
intricacies that go along with it. cwRsync can be installed in about 10
seconds, and requires no knowledge of *Nix; I don't think the same could be
said of Cygwin. Although I love Cygwin, if you just want a tiny, single
subset of its functionality, then it just isn't worth the full install.
Of course this has it's disadvantages as we are finding out now.....
Thanks again for your help.
