I believe so, yes. Other programs may have the same capability, but rsync by any other name would smell as sweet. > Wmurnane, you mentioned there was a Windows-based rsync daemon.

The link I gave ([2]) contains a version of rsync which is ``self-contained''---it does use Cygwin libraries, but it includes its own copies of the ones it needs. It's also nicely integrated with the Windows management tools, in that it uses a Windows service and Windows scheduled tasks to do its job rather than re-inventing circular rolling things everywhere.
