If you're going to the trouble to install Cygwin, you really should look
into rsync. It works on local and remote directories, and can use ssh
(secure) transport. rsync is much more efficient, especially in bulk,
and can compress while transferring files.

roliver_at_cygwin$ rsync -avz data forth.com:/home/roliver
will copy any newer files from my local "data" directory to
/home/roliver/data on forth.com. The "-z" option compresses the data.

It'll work in the other direction, too, if I made changes to the data
directory on forth.com:
roliver_at_cygwin$ rsync -avz forth.com:/home/roliver/data .

And it'll even copy local-to-local:

roliver_at_cygwin$ rsync -av data backup-data

Hope this helps.
