[TriLUG] rsync connections

[Turnpike Man]

OK, this is beginning to look like what I'm looking for, thanks Reggie.

rsync -avze ssh /rtest poo:/rtest2 worked, required me to enter the password as
if ssh or scp'ing to the machine.  I didn't like the way it transferred the
files, so I tried:

rsync -avze ssh /rtest/ poo:/rtest2 which also worked after entering password. 
I liked the end result on poo better.  The directory rtest itself was not
copied, which is great, b/c I just need everything IN rtest.  :)

Now it appears I have to decide on doing the RSA stuff suggested by Chris or is
there some other way?

so the -z option, does that just compress during the transfer?  Are the files
on the receiving end just as usable as on the source end?

thanks!
David
