While normally not able to pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel, on Fri, Jun 20, 2003 at 10:36 our dear friend Wolfpaw - Dale Corse uttered this load of codswallop: > That will also work :P And even faster > if the drives are both local :) True. But when a new client needed to move his sizeable web site to one of the servers I mainain - he gave me access to his account - on a Verio machine - and I rynced cross country. I did this for him as he tried to tar up his old site and his space restriction was such that it was going to take him hours to do it in pieces, transmit and rebuild. rsync did the job in about 1/10th the time with only about 5% of the effort. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Alexey G > > Misurenko > > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 10:29 AM > > To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > > Subject: Re: What would be the best way to copy lots of > > files from one > > server to another. > > > > > > On Fri, 20 Jun 2003 14:21:01 +0200 > > Etienne Ledoux <etienne@unix.za.org> wrote: > > > > > Greetings, > > > > > > I need to copy lots of directories/files from one server > > to another.
