I think it depends on the transport being used: some transports could allow for metadata (i.e. a MIME-compatible transport) while some others don't. Of course, the remote side needs to also support metadata (i,e. using a MIME-compatible transport against a remote host that doesn't understand metadata is certainly impossible).
For example, with FTP transports, I guess the only possible option is to transfer the unnamed/default stream. NFS should allow metadata, but this probably needs some kind of extensions to the NFS protocol. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
