Pro
•••
Fast and bandwidth efficient
Only the changed parts of files are synced. For instance, if a long log file increases by just a few lines of text, a small diff will be sent to and saved in the archive. Rsync also compresses data in transit.

•••
Pre-installed on OSX and most Linux distributions
Many *nix systems bundle rsync so there's nothing to install. All you need to do is open up the terminal and start using rsync.

Server must be run on Windows
It does run properly on WINE, so you can make it work on Linux. It's just harder to install. The client, on the other hand, can be anything with a web browser.

Only needs to be installed on one of the machines
The client just needs a web browser. Even mobile devices can use it, both for uploads and downloads.
