Implementing remote source, local target #39

Open Thermi opened 3 years ago

Thermi commented 3 years ago

Hi,

It'd be possible to implement remote source and local target by using rsync --list-only to discover the remote source's files and partition them in the most efficient way for transfers. Also, if the tool supported use of only rsync, instead of ssh, one could use this for syncing Linux package mirrors in a much faster way than was/is possible with pure rsync. :)
