No, rsync is a lot slower than rsh (or slower than ssh, if you choose to use ssh as your transport) for files that don't already exist on the remote machine. rsync shines in just what it's named for, keeping files (or directories) in sync across machines at the lowest transport cost availabe. If the file exists and some minimal changes need to go across the network, rsync's great. If the file doesn't exist, then rsync does all of its fancy algorithm only to find that it *then* needs to transfer the whole file. That's a waste of time, just use rsh. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
