What cwRsync is

cwRsync packages the rsync command-line tool for Windows to back up or synchronize files between local and remote systems. It uses the rsync algorithm to transfer only changed data and includes SSH support for secure transfers. The download page offers cwrsync_6.4.8_x64_free.zip, listed as 5.41 MB, and recommends using the included cwrsync.cmd for proper use or guidance. Itefix says the package's executables and libraries are digitally signed. The changelog for cwRsync client 6.4.8 lists Rsync 3.4.1, Cygwin 3.6.9, OpenSSH 10.3p1, and OpenSSL 3.5.6. It identifies the Itefix free software license, Simplified BSD. A page titled “cwRsync client — Discontinued” lists WSL and MinGW/MSYS2 as alternatives. The cwRsync client plan is listed as free for a Windows x64 download.
