I am able to successfully connect to my copSSH server at home using Putty, but am having difficulty getting rsync to work over the secured connection using the following command. I am trying to copy files from here at work to a backup directory at home using this command:
rsync -avzr homeusername@localhost:"/cygdrive/c/material/" "/cygdrive/d/material/
I have configured Putty to tunnel Port 22.
I placed the same version of rsync in the copSSH server directory at home as the one here at work.
Here's the error I get:

I know I'm doing something wrong but I am close. Can someone please help me out with the correct syntax?
Thank you.
There are some messages about ftp/sftp bridge, socks and so on. I can not understand how they applies to an rsync/ssh connection. Where do they come from ?
I should have clarified that cut-and-paste... I use Bitvise Tunnelier. It is Tunnelier that is doing those "bridges." Forget that pasting... I still have trouble with just using Putty 0.60 to try to rsync to home from here at work.
Thanks.
Your command uses the default built-in ssh transport mechanism, which requires firing up rsync daemon once at server side. This configuration is error prone and is not supported. Try to use secure channel wizard to set up a working configuration by using external tunnels.
