Because I'm not willing to have the data in an unencrypted form on the remote machine for any length of time; there are other users on the machine, and it's not under my physical control. Furthermore, I don't like the idea of letting rsync in to my various machines through my firewall. -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
