I don't have any experience with rsync over a slow connection. My "might not" was based on Howard's report of issues on a slow connection. You make me want to set up a test case now. :P Bye-bye productivity - I need to set up a vpn or something. Google suggests that rsync is the way to go over slow connections. My hope is that the client doesn't need to closely examine files on the server to know what needs to be updated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
