Yes, there is a rsync binary for Windows ... or so I thought. However, compiling a rsync for Windows should not be a big task for Mandrake. "Is it implementable by any newbie?" Uhm, I don't think so. Newbies are usually to much afraid of the command line, so that even if the correct syntax would be written out on the page, they wouldn't get it. Anyhow, the command line would be: $ rsync --verbose --partial --progress rsync://server/path /target/dir Explanation: --verbose --progress: By default, rsync doesn't print anything at all. This might cause the newbie to think, that nothing happens. With these params, rsync prints stuff. --partial: By default, if a connection goes down before the file is completely transferred, rsync will delete it. With this option, rsync will keep partially transferred files.
