RSync for SSH in windows powershell

I recently learned that you could use ssh directly from Windows Powershell: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-To-Use-SSH-Client-and-Server-on-Windows-10-1470/

I am trying to manage a cluster to do simulations from my windows computer. I can properly use ssh in powershell, but rsync is not recognised. I found solution online that require the use of Cygwin or cwRync, but is there any way to directly "install" it to be compatible with native power shell?

PS: I am very new to everything related to SSH or Linux and mostly coded on windows through IDEs, sorry if my question is irrelevent.

Solution

  • Basically, not at this time, no.

    The powershell team stated in 2018 that they consider supportng rsync to be out of scope, and closed the github issue requesting support accordingly: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/1266
