I am currently writing a BSD licensed version of the RSYNC client/daemon.
However because the protocol documentation is scattered, I would be willing
to write/host a document on the byte specifics RSYNC protocol. If
someone could
help me understand the file transfer [& list] byte specifics....
Because try to guess
what values are what in ethereal becomes a quick headache. (NOTE: I
understand everything
except for when it gets to the filelisting, where the rsync daemon sends
time(NULL) 32 bit value).
I am implementing some features which I could relicense to GPL for the
original rsync project. The point of my project is give the NetBSD project
a BSD licensed rsync suite, better rsync FAT support through
permissions/date file,
and a STARTTLS method for systems without ssh.
ps. Where is the best place for my rsync daemon to advertise STARTTLS
compatiblity?
"MOTD: STARTTLS"???.....
Any help would be great, Thanks!
