3. create key, type: ssh-keygen -f /cygdrive/c/ssh_key -t rsa -N "

Just reverse the source/destination -

Code:

rsync -e ssh /cygdrive/c/abc.zip root@192.168.1.100:/data/

becomes:

Code:

rsync -e ssh root@192.168.1.100:/data/ /cygdrive/c/some_directory/

Note: just be careful where you put it ...

cheers
