rsync : how to use and implement
hi friends
can anyone please tel me something about rsync. How to implement use this and how to configure it on a system... please tel me in detail... really need it thanks in advance... indiancosmonaut |
Did you read the man page ?
|
What are you trying to do with it?
|
Installation of rsync is trivial. Configuring it to perform exotic tasks can be somewhat involved. What exactly are you trying to get rsync to do?
|
Sorry for not interacting for so long...
Actually i want to user rsync to transfer Directory Structure from one server to another, WITHOUT any user interaction... The Unix Script is supposed to run rsync... I have found out that it can be done by using a Password File or by including the password in the rsync command line...like... rsync -av --password-file "xyz.pwd" ~/Source_directory user@host:~/target_directory But i haven't been able to understand the implementation... Please Help Thanks and Regards, indiancosmoanut :newbie: |

hi jlliagre,
Can you kindly explain it in a little detail please :) and also suggest another way to do the same task, i mean using rsync... Thanks and Regards indiancosmonaut :) |
Depending on the configuration (O/Ses, versions) and requirements (volume, bandwidth, security, firewalls, proxies, ...), there are many different ways and protocols to achieve unattended file transfers.
Can you provide more information about your goals and system/network settings. |
rsync!
Hi jlliagre,
CONFIGURATION : SOURCE SYSTEM Machine hardware: sun4u OS version: 5.7 Processor type: sparc Hardware: SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000 The following components are installed on your system: Sun WorkShop Professional C 3.0 Sun WorkShop Compiler C 4.2 Sun WorkShop IPE 4.0 Sun WorkShop Dbx 4.0 Sun WorkShop Performance Analyzer 4.0 Sun WorkShop IPE 4.0 Sun WorkShop Compiler C++ 4.2 Sun WorkShop Tools.h++ 7.0 Sun WorkShop Tools.h++ 6.0.4 Sun WorkShop FileMerge 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIGURATION : DESTINATION SYSTEM Machine hardware: sun4u OS version: 5.9 Processor type: sparc Hardware: SUNW,Sun-Fire The following components are installed on your system: Sun Studio 11 Sun Studio 11 C Compiler Sun Studio 11 C++ Compiler Sun Studio 11 Tools.h++ 7.1 Sun Studio 11 C++ Standard 64-bit Class Library Sun Studio 11 Documentation Set version of "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/../prod/bin/../../bin/cc": Sun C 5.8 2005/10/13 version of "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/../prod/bin/../../bin/CC": Sun C++ 5.8 2005/10/13 ------------------------------------------------------------------ GOAL : What i need to do is transfer files from SOURCE SYSTEM to DESTINATION SYSTEM... I need to use "rsync" to achieve this and I need to do this without user interaction. I believe for that we have to make use of some "rsync deamon"... Please tel me how to work this out and how to configure the deamon etc... And... I am not sure about the other attributes like bandwidth and security etc but i guess the bandwidth is high and the security required is moderate to high. I also need to keep a log of all the transfers that take place I am struck on this since i am new to Unix. Kindly help! Thanks and Regards, indiancosmonaut |
