Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool.
|
|
It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell,
|
|
or to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options
|
|
that control every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible
|
|
specification of the set of files to be copied. It is famous for
|
|
its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent
|
|
over the network by sending only the differences between the source
|
|
files and the existing files in the destination. Rsync is widely
|
|
used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for
|
|
everyday use.
|
|
|
|
Flavor: iconv
|
|
extra dependency, for people wanting to bring files from other OSes with
|
|
more versatile filenames.
