I've read through the man page of rsync but still can't figure out what are the flags for this requirement: set 775 permission of new files/directories in destination host note: local host is windows xp, remote is linux edit: i'm using the following flags for the moment. -rltzC --force --delete ...
I'm developing a web application and am looking for a great inexpensive CDN to host my images/css/js. Does anyone know of a great INEXPENSIVE CDN which offers either rsynch or origin/push services? ...
Hello! I want to use rsync to synchronize two directories in both directions. I refer to synchronization in classical sense (not how it is meant in rsync manuals): I want to update the directories in both directions, depending on which of them is newer. Can this be done by rsync (preferable in a Linux-way)? If not, what other solution...
Here is my situation. I keep a set of files on both my laptop, and a server. I already have a sync setup between the two locations using rsync. Recently I decided that a certain part of these files should be under source control. I am using git for this. So I have shared/ which I sync using rsync. Then I have shared/stuff/ which is unde...
Dear All, It must be a pretty common requirement. I have an svn repository having around 1GB data size. To backup I first do a hotcopy into a directory at 12:00AM and then at 1:00 AM, a remote machines pulls this backup using rsync.The source machine on which the svn is installed has rsyncd and is a windows machine. So, everything is wo...
I have nearly identical Linux (Fedora) machines at home and at work and I keep my files on both machines synchronized using the excellent Unison program. I have been trying to keep an eclipse workspace synchronized across the two machines but this has failed. I tried both: Synchronize just the /workspace directory, badness due to plugi...
i would like to rsync from local computer to server. on a directory that does not exist, and i want rsync to create that directory on the server first. how can i do that ? ...
I'm working on a web application where a user uploads a list of files, which should then be immediately rsynced to a remote server. I have a list of all the local files that need to be rsynced, but they will be mixed in with other files that I do not want rsynced every time. I know rsync will only send the changed files, but this direc...
I've been wanting to write a python script that would run several instances of rsync in sequence for backing up data to a different computer. At the moment I just have this text file with the commands I use and I've just been copy-pasting them into the terminal, and it seems kinda silly. I want to be able to use python to do this for m...
I have a log file from rsync command with progress on. When running this progress updates the display information on the same line. When I capture the output from this command I get a file that displays normally with cat on a terminal (all the backspaces and re-edits are replayed) but I want to be able to use grep on the file and proc...
I take a backup of my root directory (/) during shutdown to the attached storage and then rsync back from the attached storage to / during booting. what's the rsync command I need to use during shutdown? Please tell me the list of directories to exclude whats the rsync command I need to use during booting ? If there are any new files ...
OK, I'm probably not the first person to attempt to put together a PHP web-based interface to rsync to ease deployment, but there goes. We have a 'QA' server locally and a 'Staging' server at Rackspace. I've set up SSH key pairings so I can rsync between the two servers and it all works great. The problem is that rsync is a bit flaky as...
Hi, as you can see in the title i try to sync a folder with a list of files. I hoped that this command would delete all files in dest/ that are not on the list, but it didn't. So i searched a little bit and know now, that rsync can't do this. But i need it, so do you know any way to do it? PS: The list is created by a python script, ...
I know that rsync can enable / disable the ssh encryption protocol during the file transfer. So, if the ssh encryption protocol has been disabled, does it mean that rsync does not do any encryption at all? Also, the reason why I asked the above question is we use the rsync module as part of our file transfer and there is nothing in the ...
When rsync prints out the details of what it did for each file (using one of the verbose flags) it seems to include both files that were updated and files that were not updated. For example a snippet of my output using the -v flag looks like this: rforms.php is uptodate robots.txt is uptodate sorry.html thankyou.html is uptodate I'm o...
After upgrading to OS X 10.6, I've had all kinds of peculiar issues relating to MacPorts, but most of those have been resolved by simply rebuilding the libraries as required. There is one issue that I can't seem to solve through that method, and even re-building all ports, removing the old /opt directory entirely, has had no effect: $ r...
Hi, I have been reading the rsync documentation for a few hours, but I can't figure out how to convey to rsync how to only rename (and not re-upload folder and it's content) destination folders when they are renamed at the source. I'm connecting to the destination with SSH, and the local folder is the source -- and the remote server ...
I have a set of binary assets (swf files) each about 150Kb in size. I am developing them locally on my home computer and I want to periodically deploy them for review. My current strategy is: Copy the .swf's into a transfer directory that is also a hg (mercurial) repo. hg push the changes to my slicehost VPN ssh onto my slicehost VPN ...
We typically deploy our software applications to our clients using Subversion (svn update on the clients; unidirectional). We're currently experiencing problems with one of our clients because of the high latency (large file download speeds are good) because they are in China and our server is in Canada. Subversion simply times out with ...
Hi all, i am trying to setup rsync between two machines over ssh2 protocol. Earlier we used ssh1 for automated rsync without any passphrase, but recently we migrated to ssh2 and running rsync with ssh2 prompts for passphrase. I generated a new SSH2-RSA key and that too without passphrase, but it still asks me for the passphrase.Here is...
