Rsync to Windows Open SSH
Attempting to perform an rsync operation from a Linux or macOS system to a Windows machine directly using the rsync
command will fail. This is because Windows does not have a built-in rsync
utility.
A typical command like rsync /source/ target-hostname:/mnt/e/target/
will result in an error.
Solution
Leverage the power of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to enable rsync functionality on your Windows system.
