[FX.php List] [OT] Problem trying to use mount_afp w/ FileMaker Server

Fri Nov 30 13:01:11 MST 2007

According to my command-line guru in New York, he says try rsync.

rsync -avE -e ssh /path/to/local/dir/username at remotehost:-/path/to/ 
remote/dir

He says this will only send changed parts of files. I'm a novice at  
this kind of stuff, so I'll take him at his word! There's probably  
some fiddling to be done with how a password gets passed if this is  
running headliess. Your Kiwi can probably figure that out.

Speaking of said guru in New York, we did a video iChat the other day  
and he used iChat Theater to play me the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs  
is playing baseball. I also looked at the fine print on a Manhattan  
bus schedule PDF, which was readable over iChat, no problem. Cool stuff.
