(let's call it "B"). The "other" machine (let's call it "A") should have an SSH server running (since you are using SSH as the rsync "transport", as the option -e "ssh..." says). Can you ssh from B to A? What happens if you invoke ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key someu...@server1.example.com:/var/www/ /var/www/ (My crystal ball tells me that B is the Redhat box, just based on the path /root/blah, but that's just a hunch. This seems to be the hard way, since it seems to be more work to set up a ssh server on a Windows box). > Another question is there another way(s) to do the file synchronization on > this setup? Rsync is very nice and light on resources. Maybe you can skip the need to have Cygwin using PuTTY as the SSH client on the windows box (provided you rsync "from" the Windows box "to" the Redhat one). I don't know what is needed to set up an SSH server on Windows (other than the Cygwin one, that is) if you want to do it the other way 'round.
