[svlug] help transfering data over 1394 cable

[Scott Hess]

These days I'd probably use nc and tar, myself.  Here's a site
describing the basic idea:
   http://www.screenage.de/blog/2007/12/30/using-netcat-and-tar-for-network-file-transfer/

This particular case looks like it might require thoughtful search
terms - a Google search on "nc tar" yields up lots of hits for
University of North Carolina Tar :-).

But, really, who cares?  It seems like for this user, "fastest" may
not be "bestest".  "Bestest" is probably going to need to be closer to
"easiest" or maybe "least prone to error".  rsync wouldn't be fast,
but it's pretty easy to get correct, and it's also pretty easy to
manage if you keep updating the local directory and need to keep
sending that data to the remote machine.  I don't know what the "fish"
thing is, but if he's happy with it, it will probably be mostly good.
