I think STAF offers much more stuff. However, rss is well suited to freshly-installed guests (no setup whatsoever) and offers an interactive command shell, which is useful for our tests. > And re. the file transfer protocol, why not use TFTP, instead of > creating your own protocol? > Y. Can TFTP send/receive directory trees recursively? Also, I got the impression that TFTP isn't as trivial as it sounds, but I might be wrong. If it can do what we need, maybe it's a good idea to give it a try.
