Running rysnc on Windows requires Cygwin, but that doesn't mean you need a full Cygwin installation. The best option, IMHO, is to install the cwRsyncServer package from http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650. This provides just what you need to run rsync. It also makes it easy to run the rsync daemon as a Windows service. If you want to run rsync over ssh you can install the copSSH package from the same site.
