*lol*, use it for rsync, use it for copy, use it for making coffee, use it for everything ;-)

sounds like "a bit of overhead" to me :-)

No, in fact it is usually faster and less overhead than any other method, especially if a file of the same name already exists on the destination, which is often the case, since updating is always the purpose except for the first time.

Then rsync just uses a clever algorithm to move across only the detected differences.

People's first reaction to rsync is often "Aha! This is what ftp always should have been!!!"
