Howdy All,

I'm pretty happy with my NetBSD tower, now. Thought I'd like to upgrade my 
ThinkPad laptop to match it. Figured to just transfer all the 
pkgsrc_distfiles from tower to laptop.

Not knowing any better way, I'm using ftp for the transfer of 
/usr/pkgsrc_distfiles from the tower to the laptop over the Ethernet they 
both share. Sure is slow, though...

So, I'm wondering if there isn't a faster way to move files from, say...

/usr/pkgsrc_distfiles on 192.168.1.10 to same dir on 192.168.1.7 over 
Ethernet.

...and for later, is there a common way, a script maybe, to copy only 
those files on the source-machine to the dest-machine which are not already 
on the dest-machine?

Thanks,
