But before I upgrade SSH > using the sources, I figure I'd ask if anyone has been through this before. ssh prefers having the line to itself and since theoretically nothing else is occurring while you are transferring, try this: rsync -e ssh --blocking-io -avz /mnt/claws/backups/mail/mail\@foo.com-`date +%A`.tar.gz I do the same regularly and it is rock solid. jb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/backups/foo/ -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
