I used to do that, the windows rsync client (runs on the top of
cygwin) worked well for me.
You can use this package:
http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp
which provides cygwin rsync plus GUI.
The only issue I had is with files with non-latin characters in their
names, in my case, Hebrew.
Once I downloaded the Cygwin UTF-8 dll, which can be found here:
http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/
everything seemed to work.
