I already have ssh access (by way of MobaSSH) and passwordless login to my 
Win-server from the BPC-machine. I'm thinking Deltacopy might help me, as I 
can't get the regular rsync to work. Rsyncd might be better for my environment.

I'll look into this in more detail after the Easter vacations.

Thanks for your feedback!
