Yes, as much as ssh itself is secure. > What overhead it introduces - is it quick enough ? Yes again. The overhead is unnoticable in anything but the fastest LAN, and even then it's not big with today's CPUs. But even on a lan, when you're trying to update a 3 GB directory from another computer and only 10 files or so changed, using rsync instead of scp is an increadible time saver (as it only copies the changed files, and in those changed files only the parts that changed). -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Oct 3 2002, 27 Tishri 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Experience is what lets you recognize a http://nadav.harel.org.il |mistake when you make it again. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
