Re: Re: Copying a large file (6Gigs) across the network and deleting it at source location

Doing a checksum will effectively double the transfer time because the files need to be read back from the remote location. Especially since a network filesystem copy is fairly reliable since the OS does some error recovery.

Well, yes. That's a good point. But no one said the checksum has to be done from the remote system. ;)
