rsync - Jun 2009 - How to push files from Linux to Windows

Hi,

I am newbie on rsync.
I want to push files from a rsync repository on a Linux machine 
(hostname=myserver) to some Windows machines (hostname=mydesktopn, where n 
is a sequence number to identify the Windows PC) to force updates of the 
files into C:\mypath\to\files.
Is there any way to do that? Or is it impossible and I need to content 
pulling the files instead of pushing them.

Could someone help on this?

This would probably be easier to do with a pull. Install cygwin with  
rsync and ssh, script up whatever you want, and add it to windows'  
"scheduled tasks". Out of curiosity, why do you do this instead of  
just sharing mypath on Samba?
