Is it better or more appropriate than rsync in certain use cases?
- Sesse__ 2y agoBetter than rsync (over SSH): - You do not need an existing trust relationship (or trust on first use) - Easier to punch holes through NAT/firewalls - Easier for non-technical users Worse than rsync (over SSH): - Multi-file support is poor (basically it .zips up everything before even starting to transfer) - Zero support for incremental transfers - Cannot reuse existing trust relationships (and thus cannot be used non-interactively) - Easier DoSed - 1/65536 chance of connection being hijacked (by default) - Higher CPU usage
