Rsyncd requires exactly 4 files:
rsync.exe
cygwin1.dll
rsyncd.conf (to configure the shares)
rsyncd.secret (to contain the password)
Deploying rsync and running it as a daemon is not exactly hard (I simply
create a single Scheduled Task), and way easier than SFU. And has
*numerous* advantages. Other than a *TINY* deployment load, I see no
disadvantages over SMB.
