Re: manual wording unclear regarding inline versus external methods

[Patrik Jonsson]

There are only 2 items:

"(The content of the file can be transfered over the same connection used to
log in to the remote machine) or (the file can be transfered through another
connection using a remote copy program such as rcp, scp or rsync). The former
are called inline methods, the latter are called out-of-band methods or
external transfer methods (external methods for short)."

Clearer? :-)

cheers,
