Questions:
1) Why did not you provide the error messages you got at all?
2) Why do you specify "-p 2222" to ssh? Did you change the ssh port
   to 2222 from default 22?
3) Why do you specify source and destination that seem to be on the
   same machine?
     /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/myuser1/shared/
     myuser1@127.0.0.1:/home/myuser1
   This command try to backup files in /home/myuser1/shared/ to 
   /home/myuser1 which is the upper directory of former one.
   Do you really want to do that?
