I do not believe there is a way to turn encryption off, however, you might be able to use blowfish (or DES, if possible) as a cipher instead of 3DES which is much slower (and the default for SSH2 in OpenSSH). Also, make sure you are not using compression in rsync or ssh, since it will

rsync is just doing what your are telling it to do. Update if the file is changed or does not exist on the remote side and delete if it no longer exists on the local side. The directory may have a newer timestamp, but you are doing a recursive put so it has to check all the files and dirs

I usually use rsync 2.5.4 on AIX and compression is not enabled by default. 2.5.5 may be different. Another important option would be to use -u since it would only transfer a file if it has changed (even if it is in the file list). wim delvaux wrote: On Saturday 04 January 2003 19:49, Aaron
