Can you please enlighten me on the LiveCode versions?

rsync is licensed under GPL 3.0, so RunRev could only integrated its 
code into the Community Edition.

But moreover, rsync is freely available to anyone, and is most commonly 
used through the command line (its pre-installed on Ubuntu and most 
Linux distros, it's included in Cygwin for Windows, and an older version 
is included in OS X).  in LiveCode, I use it via the shell function.

For moving data between local volumes it's great as it is.  When 
transferring to or from a remote server, it runs over SSH so it'll 
prompt for a password.  Since LC offers no way to enter a password 
prompt in SSH, the solution there is something all serious SSH users are 
probably doing anyway: setting up shared SSH keys.  Once those are in 
place, SSH, rsync, scp, and much more can be used from LC's shell 
function gracefully and securely.

Given all this, how would you envision RunRev integrating rsync?
