title: rsyncing using cygwin's rsync from the Windows Command Prompt
body: <p>I am pushing a local file to a folder in a remote location using cygwin's rsync from the Windows Command Prompt. </p>
  
  <p>The below command </p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\My Folder&gt;C:/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe  -avh data.csv ec2-user@someserver.com::~"overhere/"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns the error, "<code>failed to connect to someserver.com : connection timed out</code>"</p>
  
  <p>When I try the following command to place the file in the remote location root folder,</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\My Folder&gt;C:/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe  -avh data.csv ec2-user@someserver.com~
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it says "<code>sending incremental file list</code>" but I am not able to find the file in the root folder in the remote location.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing  wrong?</p>
