Under WSL1 it doesn't matter if your /expofiles/ is mounted on the Linux filesystem, typically under /home/expo/expofiles, or whether it it in the NTFS filesystem mount for Linux as, e.g. /mnt/d/expofiles. Under WSL2 /mnt/d/expofiles fails, either with a permissions problem or, if you try sudo rsync.. , with a ssh authentication failure (why? Given that we explicitly sate that we want to be user expo@ ?). Ghastly anyway.
