[svlug] Rsync across SSH & alternatives

[Skip Evans]

Oh, of course. I use sshfs all the time for connecting to 
client servers I'm coding on.

I think that would work well, but my real concern is going to 
be how to monitor the connection and re-establish it should it 
drop out.

Any ideas there?
