Thanks!  I do not quite see how you manage monitoring with your
approach, nor how you can avoid transmitting data that has already
been cached (which is important for me as I can only move data by
carrying floppy discs from one place to another).  In the end I
installed an instance of wwwoffle on the computer with net access
under my home directory, I carry a tar file of outgoing/ there every
day, run wwwoffle -fetch from a script, and in the evening I transfer
a tar file of `find wwwoffle-directory/spool/ -newer some-time-stamp`
back to the other computer.

Though the details are different, the important idea of simply running
wwwoffle on both computers I got from your solution.

Thanks again,

Albert.
