Okay, everyone has convinced me that my problem (excessive traffic in the reverse direction) is best solved by simply specifying a large checksum block size when transferring files that change only by appending. Now if we can only find the bug that corrupts data when compression is enabled and a large block size is specified, I'll be in good shape! Phil
