[CLUE-Tech] Moving files from one system to another

[Dan Harris]

Supposedly a 63byte packet will keep it from getting "fragmented"..  at least

As for the "z" flag, it actually slowed it down.  Even the fastest CPU can't 
compress fast enough to keep the pipe flooded.  At least that was my 
experience.
