rsync - Mar 2004 - Feature Request: Multiple Streams

Are there any plans to add support for multiple stream copying (BBFTP
and GridFTP do this, though only for a single file) to rsync?

 

Thanks,

Jason

for source in source1 source2 source3
        do
                rsync -options $source destination:$source &
        done
wait

adapt as needed.

That will WORK, of course, but it does require that you do a file list 
build and compare for each of the above, instead of doing a single list 
build and then dissemination to multiple targets... which (I think?) is 
what the original poster is asking for(?)

Nope.  It would be better to work on a replacement for rsync that had
support for multiple-stream copying rather than to try to force it into
the current protocol.
