Summary: One of the FAQ suggestions is dangerous for projects using GNU Arch
Original Submission: (This is really more of a documentation issue, so I set
category to None.)
"Download Server -- How do I put files in the download area ?", to be precise.
If the user has set up a GNU Arch archive mirror as instructed in the related
FAQ answer, the given rsync command will happily delete it.
Adding "/files" to the rsync destination would fix this problem, though a
warning could be in order. I ran across this issue the hard way, though it was
nothing that a repeat of the arch repository instructions didn't repair.
Also, it's apparently perfectly feasible to upload files using sftp, which the
FAQ doesn't mention.

security-wise there is no question that encouraging users to use sftp over
rsync is the best approach. Ease of use and slightly less bandwidth are the
reasons for rsync, and those are probably overshadowed by rsync's historied
exploits.

I added Jerome Marant in Cc, he is the author of the relevant FAQ entry and it
is better to let him reply.
"Also, it's apparently perfectly feasible to upload files using sftp, which the

Well, a FAQ purpose is to provide one way to go, not necessarily every way
possible :)
