I want to make Sync a folder in windows to raspberry pi, which is connected via ethernet cable. I could write a program in windows to perform this operation and it executes well. But I dont want to run any program in the windows machine to push data to raspberry pi, rather I would like to write a program in Pi, to pull data from windows. I know there are several tools for this task, like rsync, samba, cifs, etc. But all those tools are built on top of SSH I assume. I tried to work with all the mentioned tools, none of them works.
While trying to debug the whole thing, I came to know that Pi, is hanging while trying to connect to the windows machine via SSH. When I try this 'sudo ssh -vvv computername@ipaddress' this is the output
OpenSSH_7.4p1 Raspbian-10+deb9u1, OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017

Even Telnet doesnt work. When I execute 'sudo telnet ipaddress 22', this is the output.
trying <ipaddress> ...
Just Ping works. So, whats the problem here with ssh in this case? I disabled firewalls and enabled network sharing in windows as well. I made sure ssh-client and ssh-server and installed and running on windows as well. Is there a way to sync windows folder with raspberry pi, without using ssh?
