Why rsync?

--- End quote ---

I have a OS/2 server with a overlay of eCS.

I use a hot key for popup and drag and drop files on a CMD file of rsync for a Dropbox on my server and my public folder.

And stunnel and rsync for backups. But there's not a good way to encrypt data and rsync it to a third party server on OS/2.  So, Im going to check out how many files change on an encrypted AES directory and rsync it. If you know of a better way, please tell. 

I would like to add this to the OS/2 coummity.

The easiest way to transfer data with rsync securely is rsync over ssh, of course.

Ok, smarty pants !

The Os/2 versions of Rsync and ssh don't work together !  And even if they did data wouldn't be encrypted at the end point ?

Are you sure? Have you tried?

If that's true, that's stupid and should be fixed.

Oh. Well sorry, I thought you trust the remote server, but don't trust the data channel. It's partly hard to understand what you say for me.

If you don't trust the remote, you can indeed use an AEFS container or a passworded RAR archive.
But you will have to transfer the whole container/archive even if you change one byte in it (at least that's how good encryption should work), as it changes fully. Therefore I don't get where are you going to apply rsync in this case.

Or are you going to encrypt each file separately?

I'm the one that asked Paul for a different build and there's a 30+ message thread on it on the Yahoo group.

I don't read newsgroups.

Well, if you know what to do, then I do completely misunderstand what's this thread for.
