What is rsync FOR LINUX?

rsync

rsync is an awesome open-source command-line tool that steps in as a replacement for rcp and scp. But guess what? It has way more features! This nifty utility uses something called the 'rsync algorithm,' which is super fast at syncing remote files. So, if you're looking to keep your files up-to-date, this is a great option!

How Does rsync Work?

Here’s the cool part: rsync only sends the differences between files over the network. You don’t even need both sets of files on either end before starting. That means it saves time and bandwidth—pretty neat, right?

Features of rsync

With rsync, you can update entire file systems and directory trees without breaking a sweat. You can use SSH, RSH, or even direct sockets to transfer your data. Plus, it supports mirroring via anonymous rsync! And if you're worried about losing details, it can preserve symbolic links, file ownership, hard links, permissions, times, and devices too.

No Special Privileges Needed!

The best part? Installing rsync doesn’t require any special privileges. Its internal pipelining functionality also helps reduce latency when dealing with multiple files.
