===========================
Features:
===========================
* It uploads/downloads a directory tree, recursively.

* When downloading, it preserves the time stamp (the modification time) and
permission bits of the file.

* When uploading, the time stamp is set to the time of uploading. However, with
a switch -a (standing for archive), time and permission information of the file
is also uploaded and stored in the remote site, so when downloading the
file/directory with the same switch -a, the time stamp and permission bits are
preserved.

* With the switch -t, only the newer files are uploaded/downloaded.

* The login process can be automated with the password stored in a
only-owner-can-read file.
