cwRsync (Free Edition)

Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool for both remote and local files.

Rsync uses a delta-transfer 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 at one

of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs two files

normally requires local access to both files.


## Notes

* cwRSync uses the Windows user profile directories as home

* Current versions of rsync are only provided as a 64-bit version

* If support for 32-bit Windows is required use the legacy version [rsync 5.5.0.20190204](https://chocolatey.org/packages/rsync/5.5.0.20190204).

```powershell
