tunnelling over ssh or native rsync protocol transparent compression more easily scriptable
FTP, on the other hand, has the advantages:
1. Interactiveness (directory listing).
ssh user@remote ls remote_directory or : rsync -e ssh user@remote:remote_directory
2. Well-established.
depends on what you need to do, for most end users ftp is all we can ask to them, unfortunately...
3. Simple to implement.
I don't know.
4. Already there (in the Zope :)
You're right with this one. The biggest advantage IMHO, with rsync is that it doesn't need any new port opened if you tunnel it through ssh, so it's easier to secure a box. so the same ssh port will give you both complete remote control of the box and the rsync possibilities. bye, Jerome Alet
