I have recently completed a port of rsync to wattcp. It is compiled
using Borland C 3.1 to run in real-mode DOS (because my target was a
hand-held computer with little memory). There are a few compromises, for
example it is client only, it does not support rsh or ssh and the file
names on the server must be in DOS format if they are to be sync'd
correctly.
Its main use is in keeping a set of files, e.g. on a hand-held computer,
in sync with a set on a remote server. It is more efficient than ftp
because it transmits only the changes to files, and it is better able to
pick up from where it left off if the link goes down mid session. There
is more information and a link to the code at

Chris.
