For those curious on the sizes then WAR and EAR files can be anything from a few KB to several MB's. i.e. one of our example apps are 15MB but I have seen much larger in real life too. Note, a developer centric usecase is copying of a set of files instead of one big zip file....not sure if that is better modelled by zipping up the files and then unzipping them with a command on the other side ? p.s. I actually feel weird that DeltaCloud is controlling the scp/ssh access here....is that really the right abstraction ? /max
