If i understand well, here you are how i've done that. First of all, i've created a file .bat (example: run_rsynch.bat) on my desktop .. and inside that (supposing you install cygwin in your C: drive): C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c 'rsync -avz root@10.0.0.2:/home/funnel/Jan* /cygdrive/e/Earchives' Save & Exit. Now you need only to double-click in your .bat file and insert your password if required. Instead, if you want to create a script to run in cygwin environment, follow the Eric post. ...my 2 cents...
