There is no one correct way.  It depends mostly on your security
issues.  I used NFS and had no problems with it, but if you can't
use NFS, then you end up using rsync over ssh to get the files to
the Orca host.

Yes, this is on topic.

In fact Aaron Kushner is working on this right now.  You can probably
ask him for a copy of the code.  At some point, I'd like to see this
code incorporated into the Orca distribution.
