Or speed it up, with compressible data, by supplying the -C command. I think you can also ask SSH to use a faster cypher suite (such as blowfish) if you are having significant speed issues. I find SSH much more convenient than ftp et al because of this. In addition there's no nasty firewall issues / passive mode madness as it all goes through 22; no ascii/binary transfer distinction; you've got shell and file transfer out-of-the-box and a rough-and-ready remote filesystem with sshfs. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
