Data can be transferred via rsync, SFTP, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>My thought is to create a data management app that would automate the backup/archive/restore functions. But I don’t understand the data transfer options available in Erlang well enough to implement. </div><div><br></div><div>The options I see are:</div><div><br></div><div>— calling rsync via os:cmd/1 — seems simple enough but I’m breaking out of Erlang</div><div>— ssh-sftp — just don’t understand how to use this library</div><div>— File Transfer Service — docs are totally confusing????</div><div><br></div><div>One would think that this is an every day plain vanilla kind of problem. But there’s scant guidance on the web.</div><div><br></div><div>Can some kind soul point me in the right direction? </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>LRP</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div></body></html>
