I was wondering if there was a GUI available for rsync. I've never used it before, so I'm afraid of typing some incorrect option on CLI and screwing up my data. I'd prefer it to be a KDE application, if such an application exists, and also available as an RPM for SuSE 10.0 if at all possible.

rsync is quite simple.

rsync [options] [source] [destination]

Say I want to copy my whole home directory to a remote server, I would do:

rsync -av /home/user/ user@remotehost:/path/to/location/

Or say I wanted to copy a home directory from a remote host to my local host, I'd do:

rsync -av user@remotehost:/path/to/location/ /home/


You can specify specific files and or use wildcards to pick only a particular type of file like *.jpg for jpeg images.

It's so simple, I don't think there's anyone out there willing to make a GUI interface as the CLI is so straight forward.

How about a way to save an rsync command? Like, I'm going to do regular backups?

I suppose I could learn how to write a bash script?
