Though it should be noted that with cygwin-1.5, rsync to a cygwin machine running sshd will hang on transferring large directories. For example, (from some directory not in /usr): rsync -va localhost:/usr/ usr.copy will probably show the problem. See this thread for more details: http://www.sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00863.html But since the problem was rooted in the pipe implementation for 1.5, it is pretty likely that it is already fixed in cygwin-1.7. In fact, the above test now works for me on a WinXP machine running sshd on cygwin-1.7. Unfortunately, I'm not having much success in getting the cygwin-1.7 sshd to work on Vista yet...
