I am trying to understand how rsync uses ssh. From what I understand of the source, it simply opens a ssh connection and then simply pipes rsync's data. But somehow my stomach tells me that this is not the whole story.
For one, that would mean the whole (?) of rsync's protocol is only used for not-ssh transmission. The biggest question for me right now is, whether rsync, when transmitting remotely over ssh, is binding sockets of some kind or if it is completely dependent on ssh for that. For every bit of enlightenment in this regard I am very grateful! alex. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
