====== use rsync in windows ======


==== Windows version ====

Windows paths may contain a colon '':'' as a part of drive designation and backslashes (example c:\, g:\). However, in rsync syntax, a colon in a path means searching for a remote host.

Solution: use absolute path 'a la unix', replace backslashes (\) with slashes (/) and put ''/cygdrive/'' in front of the drive letter.

Example:

''C:\WORK\*''
-->
''/cygdrive/c/work/*''
