Let's think about this. Shouldn't it be secret? :)

In the ideal situation, you have a public key on the target, a private

key on the source, and you load the private key up securely into

memory using an ssh-agent program. Since you're using Windows as your

source (right?), take a look at the suite of software that includes

PuTTY and Pageant.

I haven't had to do the exact combination of things you are trying:

rsync over ssh from Windows to Linux, so I'll offer what help I can,

but you'll need to tell us what you're using for software and what

you're doing and what you're seeing. It's hard to see you're screen

from here ;)

I've found little obvious about ssh. I had to read the whole Snail

book (O'Reilly) to start to get it.
