I was wondering if there were any flags, patches, etc, that can speed up rsync over SSH between two Win2k boxes running cygwin? I am setting up a system where these machines can sync off each other, and they potentially might transfer up to a Gig of data, so a little bit more speed goes a long way. These machines will be on the same local network. In my tests I have both plugged into the same 10/100 switch and file transfers over SMB are much much faster than over rsync with ssh. I would expect some slowdown using rsync and ssh due to increased overhead and the way cygwin deals with pipes, etc, but I would like the speed to be better. I don't want to drop ssh either. Any advice would be great. Thanks. -- Joseph Annino Consulting - Perl, PHP, MySQL, Oracle, etc. jannino@jannino.com - http://www.jannino.com
