At work we have a *very* simple perl script to handle an rsync over
ssh to publish websites.  It's very easy for the unix users; I don't
do Windows tech support unless I'm paid for it...or it's for a friend.

I saw this SSH client (`Putty') endorsed by David Damerell on
rec.games.rogulike.nethack, it's Free[1] (beer and speech) and
apparently quite good.

mirror.pl?  Frankly I don't think you're doing a Windows user any
favours at all by not at least *mentioning* they're losing out by not
moving to a superior operating system.
