<para>is a replacement for <command>rcp</command> (and
<command>scp</command>) that has many more features. It uses the
<quote>rsync algorithm</quote> which provides a very fast method of
syncing remote files. It does this by sending just the differences
in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of
files are present at one end of the link beforehand.</para>
