[wplug] rsync question

[Michael O'Connor]

On thanks.  So you are saying that if I want to stay with rsync just run it
in with the spirce and destination switched after I do work on the other
box.  And to the C option that is to ssh not rsync all it does is to tell
ssh to compress the data when it connection.  Not that great for a ssh
shell but for ssh tunnels of other programs it is nice.  Thanks.
