in Acrosync for Windows
It is possible to ad an option to chose if we want to compress or not compress files during transfert ?

-z, --compress              compress file data during the transfer

    Two reasons I haven't implemented compression.  First, I believe many users like me just connect via ssh which already provides a compression option.  Second, last time I checked rsync uses a slightly modified version of zlib so there may be some license implication.

    Thanks for your answer.

    I use Acrosync to a RSYNC server on one computer, on others, i use through SSH. Possible to have an option ti disable compression on SSH ? Or it will disable it automaticaly when files are uncompressible ?

    I was wrong -- compression isn't enabled by default by the libssh2 library so you will not get any compression if you connect via SSH.  It shouldn't be hard to add an option to enable it.

    Ok, perhaps in futur releases ? In the middle of your todo list ? :)

    I'll revisit this issue when I start working on version 1.4.
