[GRASS-user] GRASS Database doesn't copy correctly

[Daniel Lee]

I tried compressing it and moving the compressed file to the server, that
worked. I'd never heard of rsync before - that sounds like an elegant
solution, I'll try that one. Otherwise I at least have the tarball version
on the server now. Thanks!
