rsync is very cool utility. Avaliable on most major platforms. Rsync with -z works great for cross data center archive log transfer. it can be configured to sync the whole directory/filesystem. Using your own script to decide which to rsync is better, maybe. As maybe rsync will also work on some archivelog file that is still being written by archive process.
