Hi, all. I note that incremental transfer (i.e. using the rsync
algorithm) doesn't work when transferring to a remote machine. I get a
speedup of 1.0. Transferring from a remote machine does achieve the
speedup that the rsync algorithm yields. Even using the
--no-whole-file switch doesn't help:
% rsync -avP --no-whole-file file remotehost:
building file list ...
1 files to consider
file
1524957 100% 105.58kB/s 0:00:00
wrote 1525256 bytes read 36 bytes 98405.94 bytes/sec
total size is 1524957 speedup is 1.00
this was after having added or deleted a single byte to/from the
file. Going in the other direction:
% rsync -avP remotehost:file .
receiving file list ...

total size is 1524956 speedup is 68.41
Much better. Please Cc: any replies to me, I'm not subscribed to the
list. This is with rsync v2.5.4.

Richard....
