I've never had that requirement until recently when I was working with a
windows VM and needed to get a file in (or maybe out). I ended up using
winscp which was much simpler. I'm usually using Fedora in the VMs, so
transferring files is easy.
Coming from a job where Windows was the "corporate standard", I've often
needed to move files between Windows and linux. Windows 10 provides
C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\sftp.exe, and rsync is available as a
"standalone" install based on Cygwin, and from Msys2. Rsync does need
some care with advanced options due to the differences in the underlying
filesystems (well documented in Cygwin).
My former work was all IPv4, IPv6 support in Windows has some gaps (e.g., WSL2).
