Ahhh! That makes sense. However, how do you then do the same thing from the client end? I guess you can't? There's no "--dont-compress" option by the looks of it. Actually I see now someone earlier commenting about ZLIB stuff. Same thing I suppose. So rsync client will attempt to compressed already compressed data... -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
