I would like to backup a dir in Win XP on a Solaris server via rsync. I installed cygwin but when I type rsync I get 'command not found'. How can I install rsync? And how can I install ssh. I have installed Poderosa as ssh client (a sort of putty).

Run setup, click through to the 'Cygwin Setup - Select Packages' window, and type 'rsync' in the 'Search' box at upper left. At this writing, this shows three lines, one of which is 'Net'. Expand Net and you'll find rsync. Click the circular arrow icon to mark it for install, then click Next at lower right.
Package: rsyncrsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
run your cygwin setup.exe again, and expand the categories to find 'rsync' and 'ssh'.
