Hi @all! Sorry about that many questions, but after searching and reading tons different web sites, I didn't find exactly what I am searching for.
So, I know that with the -z Option rsync compresses the files with gzip, than the files are transfared and at the target machine uncompressed. I want to know, is there a possibility to see how big the compressed file is, which rsync generates before being transfered? If not, is there a chance to let the file compressed on the target machine? I want to make some tests, also with the compression ratio. I made a test and transfered a 1GB file. I changed the timestamp with the touch command and rsync needs with the -c Option 42sec and without 80sec! I expected it viceversa! How can it be?! (I made the test several times) I also changed the user rights with chmod. Here the result were what I expected! Rsync needed 45sec with the -c Option, and 2sec without! Again, thank you for spending time to answer! David ____________________________________________________________________ Psssst! Schon vom neuen WEB.DE MultiMessenger gehört?
