Hello,
I would like to use rsync client over ftp. I know how to use it with ssh but 
it just can't work with ftp or ncftp. The purpose of usign it with ftp is 
simple: most webhosting soft. like cpanel or plesk don't monitor ssh 
bandwidth usage. You need to monitore it in order to suspend an over-quota 
account.

I tried the following:
rsync -avze '/usr/bin/ftp -nv' /tmp/testdir username at server.com:./testrsync/
I dont get any result.

rsync version (I tried with 2 versions):
rsync-2.6.4
rsync-2.5.7-0.1.92mdk

I found nothing on the major search engines.

Thanks,

Phil
