I think this is only true if you are running rsync over ssh, which I

would consider a best practice. I do something similar to this in

uploading data from some of my clients to our in-house Linux systems.

I think Kam has Windows in-house, so if he wants to use ssh, he's

going to need to set up ssh on the Windows end. I recommend the PuTTY

package of files to do this (PuTTY, Plink, Pagent and others).

Essentially, you launch Pagent manually and supply a key on your

Windows server so it can cache the ssh keys in memory.
