It's not an operating system problem. Windows has rsync and SSH and even
Subversion tools available via the CygWin tool suite, at www.cygwin.com.
Running an SSH server on a Windows box is one of the safer ways to send
files to and from such as erver.

sftp is famous for mishandling symlinks, hardlinks, and not being able to
*delete* old files from the sftp recipient to exactly mirror contents. I
don't recommend it for mirroring sites.

And if you use rsync, you don't have to worry about it. Rsync will do that
for you.
