I made clear progress after  installing a newer version.
The laptop is now in someone else's use, but
I installed rsync on my desktop
following Robert Scholten's minmalist approach- page
http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/rsync_pc1.html
The version coming from his page is
2.5.1 and the protocol version is 25.

Both
rsync251-2.exe  -trvuz   file.wrk
uname at servername:public_html/
and
rsync251-2.exe  -trvuz -e ssh file.wrk
uname at servername:public_html/

seem to do the same, because there was a setup file
rsetup.bat
that sets RSYNC_RSH to SSH.EXE

The ssh also came from Robert Scholten's
pages here and might be a reason, who knows.

It seems to work, since sshd logs the event in the server.
I cannot see any other log records,
especially not in the normal rsyncd.log of the Linux
server.
The fact is that the file is  really transferred. Some
tests
should actually  be made to confirm that it really
is the ssh protocol, but I am positive.

Thanks

P.S.
Unfortunately I did not yet find any log in windows and I
could
not pipe the resulting tty lines in NT window.
