rsync is usually faster, as it reads the first one and writes to the |
13 |
second one at the same time. You should read its' man page, there are |
14 |
nice things like '-x' flag (so it copies only one filesystem and does |
15 |
not enter sub-filesystems, like dev and) |

As it uses ssh by default, you need only sshd on the remote server and |
18 |
you can tweak thinks like compression while transferring. |
