Hello, I would like to use rsync client over ftp. I know how to use it with ssh but it just can't work with ftp or ncftp. The purpose of usign it with ftp is simple: most webhosting soft. like cpanel or plesk don't monitor ssh bandwidth usage. You need to monitore it in order to suspend an over-quota account. I tried the following: rsync -avze '/usr/bin/ftp -nv' /tmp/testdir username@server.com:./testrsync/ I dont get any result. rsync version (I tried with 2 versions): rsync-2.6.4 rsync-2.5.7-0.1.92mdk I found nothing on the major search engines. Thanks, Phil
