rsync vs. ftp usage
is rsync realy so good ?
if it is, and rsync can make sure that transmissions will be always correkt
and complete, and it can continues transmissions, i will consider createing
the cdrom disk images as one big file, not splitting them and distributeing
them only via rsync.
but only if rsync is realy so good. one big fat image is IMO good,
because people can download one image, burn it, remove it and download the
next. i know that there are people out ther, who don't have the extra 640
mb to cat a splitted image back into one file.
people told me, in this case "cat `ls x??` |<cd-write-app> ..." could be used.
is this true ? anyway, as this adds extra complexity i don't like it.
i want to keep it simple.
is rsync available for windows ? i know there are people, who have cdwriters
only at work, and there only have windows machines ...
i would like it, if they could use rsync, too.
the ftp method is well tested and seems to work.
i can't say this for rsync, but i like it a lot. please give me more imput.
