Hi Darryl and Tod, why don't you use the standard UNIX tool rdist? That tool is mend for remote-distribution. It is delivered as part of the standard UNIX tools. For more information, check the man pages. When you are interested, I can send you some examples. regards, ing.

Only changes will be transmitted when the sync takes place (down to the byte level). It is very efficient and quick. It can be used on nfs/rfs mounted filesystems, with rsh/ssh or an rsync server.
