rsync is licensed under GPL 3.0, so RunRev could only integrated its code into the Community Edition.
But moreover, rsync is freely available to anyone, and is most commonly used through the command line (its pre-installed on Ubuntu and most Linux distros, it's included in Cygwin for Windows, and an older version is included in OS X). in LiveCode, I use it via the shell function.
For moving data between local volumes it's great as it is. When transferring to or from a remote server, it runs over SSH so it'll prompt for a password. Since LC offers no way to enter a password prompt in SSH, the solution there is something all serious SSH users are probably doing anyway: setting up shared SSH keys. Once those are in place, SSH, rsync, scp, and much more can be used from LC's shell function gracefully and securely.
Given all this, how would you envision RunRev integrating rsync? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
