I'm pushing. I thought rdiff could install just the changes to a dir and then when you restore, it applies the changes from the dir you specify. Is that incorrect? If rdiff does do that, I could write a gui or wrapper for it to make restores more user friendly.

If the only access you have to the remote directory is to read or write it via a mapped drive, you can't hope to do any better than copying the whole file. All approaches to delta transfers rely on performing some kind of special computation on the remote machine. BTW, are you pushing files to the mapped drive or pulling files from it? Knowing that would make future discussion clearer. > I may take a peek at > rdiff. Any experience with that? rdiff is essentially a command-line interface to the three stages of the rsync delta-transfer algorithm. It won't work any better than rsync in this setting.
