If you have both PuTTY and CygWin's ssh available, I would use the

CygWin, since you'll be running in a consistent POSIX environment for

both the ssh and rsync. Start a CygWin command shell and try to ssh

from the Windows server to the webfaction box:

ssh -vvv username@http://webxxx.webfaction.com/

If that lets you in without asking for a password, then you can use

the --rsh='ssh' commandline option I suggested before. If not, you may

need to add the proper private key (with the proper permissions) to

your .ssh directory on the Windows machine. The -vvv makes verbose

output that should suggest what you need to troubleshoot.

When you have ssh working correctly, you can add an entry (or create

the file) .ssh/config to give yourself a simple shortcut for the

command line, with an entry something like:

Host MyWebFactionHost

Hostname http://webxxx.webfaction.com/

User webfactionlogin

Port 22

IdentityFile /home/kam/.ssh/id_rsa

and then the rsync command is simplified to

rsync -avz --rsy='ssh' mylocalhost:localfilespec MyWebFactionHost:

Rsync will automatically invoke ssh which in turn will recognize the

configuration options for that host.
