Questions tagged [rsync]

GENERAL RSYNC SUPPORT IS OFF-TOPIC. Support questions may be asked on https://superuser.com. rsync can copy files locally, over ssh or rsh remote shell services, or with a remote rsync daemon. Files can be incrementally updated and rsync provides for file-size and last-modified time update checks. rsync runs on POSIX systems including Linux, BSD, Unix, and Windows (via Cygwin).

Rsync is a file copy utility which runs on POSIX systems, including Linux, BSD, Unix, and Windows (via Cygwin).

rsync is capable of copying files locally and remotely, using ssh or rsh services as transport, or to a remote rsync daemon (non-secure way). rsync uses a delta-transfer algorithm for transferring files. Files can be incrementally updated based on source/destination differences in file-size and/or timestamps, or differences in checksums.

rsync is very suitable for low-bandwidth and high-latency networks as it transfers only the changed part of files.

rsync was developed by Andrew Tridgell and currently is maintained by Wayne Davison.
