How rsync can work only with rsh/ssh

[tim.conway at philips.com]

You've neither read the documentation, nor actually tried rsync, have you? 
 
scp is an add-on to ssh to do rcp-like work over ssh.
rsync does the same function and a lot more, and doesn't care what the 
transport it uses, whether shared memory, in the case of purely local 
transfers, or an external transport (rsh, remsh, ssh, a pipe written in 
perl, whatever), or it's own tcp transport, used to communicate with a 
rsync daemon.

"Why rsync need a shell? For login?"  No, for a transport, and then, only if you chose to use an external 
transport, and then, only if you do a non-local transfer.

Hi,

I use rsync with ssh. My question is: how can
rsync work only with ssh without scp o sftp?
I have installed only rsync and ssh on
my windows machine. Is the scp or sftp
integrated within rsync? Why rsync need
a shell? For login?

Thanks in advance.
