Cpanel 11.23.3 Account Transfers

[oshs]

Hi,

I have a few questions for Cpanel folk regarding the latest Cpanel 11.23.3 build.

On the Cpanel blog it states:

In 11.23 when transferring accounts, the utilities use WHM instead of rsync in order to improve speed and deal better with large file sizes.

1.) It looks like a mistake - was it meant to say utilities use rsync instead of scp?
2.) I see there's an FTP option now as well - is this faster than scp? The rsync option is probably the fastest right?
3.) If original server is moving to a new server using the same nameservers, i.e. ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com, then express transfers should not be used. Am I correct in assuming that only if the new server is using different nameservers that are already active then express transfers should be used?

Thanks,
Suhail.

So it looks like the new account transfers is using HTTPS instead of scp(via rsync).

Is HTTPS faster than FTP?
