Tansfer Help...

Hello,

I wish to tansfer files from one computer (at home) to a computer many miles (3 States) away. At home I use Dial and the computer I'm going to be moving files to is on Cable. What I want to know is can I set up a NFS on the computer on with cable and have the slower computer move files and resume them if the connection is lost? If so how would I do it? I also want to use SSL or anything better.

-Thanks
Jason

There are many options out there.
I would normally use scp (ssh copy (secure)), or ftp to move the files.
NFS would work, but I'm not sure if that's the best option as you're not really moving the files, just opening up access, which wouldn't be all that fast over Dialup.

If you want secure NFS try out shfs, there is a shfs package for gentoo. SHFS is a ssh filesystem, so it's totally secure.

If the files are constantly going to be updated you could try sync. Not emerge sync, but there's an application called sync that will check which files have been updated and copy/overwrite those only. Good luck.
