Sometimes.

This. Hands down. Pros: Your list of pros is just too short. A corollary of your first pro is that you can interrupt the proces at any time and it'll pick up more or less where it left. Plus you can ask it what it would do (--dry-run). Plus you you can tell it to make back-up files at the other end, and to delete non-existing files. Yadda, yadda. Cons: - you need to setup rsyncd server Wrong: you just need one "transport", SSH is fine. If you can access the other box via SSH, you're set. - and make the correct authorization. I don't know what you mean with that: I'd hope any method to put files on a box would need proper authentificationn/authorization. The others I'd only use when forced to. Well, rclone, I think, I'd even refuse when forced to. Eek. Cheers -- t
