Right.

Matt, can you mirror this somewhere ?
I have a script that one can run out of cron that uses rcp and rsh
md5sum to upload a file. That might be suitable for use in these
circumstances. Suppose we arrange for users to upload things to the
`local' Incoming, and then rename them into a `togo' or `ok'
directory. Then the script picks them up and rcp's them across,
deleting them a while later.
Hmm, I can do this. In the meantime, Matt, mirror that in a
directory.
Ian.
