The reason I was trying this was because all I can do is map a drive. As of yet, I cannot modify the server like that. I tried the --inplace and it still did the whole file. Also, this will eventually be over the internet but right now I'm doing it locally (faster testing). I may take a peek at rdiff. Any experience with that?

You set up an ssh server on the machine with the mapped drive, install an ssh client on the machine running rsync, and direct rsync to the mapped drive using a path of the form host:/cygdrive/C/path/to/mapped/drive/ (note the *single* colon). cwRsync ( http://itefix.no/cwrsync/ ) is a nice packaging containing rsync, an ssh client and server, and some glue to get the ssh server running in Windows; I recommend it.
