Rsync:
Rsync is a very flexible network-enabled syncing tool. Due to
its ubiquity on Linux and Unix-like systems and its popularity as a tool for
system scripts, it is included on most Linux distributions by default.
Commands:
sudo apt -y install rsync
cd ~
mkdir testdir1
mkdir testdir2
touch testdir1/file{1..100}
To sync the contents of dir1 to dir2 on the same system, type:
rsync -r testdir1/ testdir2
a stands for “archive” and syncs recursively and preserves
symbolic links, special and device files, modification times, group, owner, and
permissions.
rsync -a testdir1/ testdir2
Rsync provides a method for doing this by passing the -n or
--dry-run options. The -v flag (for verbose) is also necessary to get the
appropriate output:
rsync -anv testdir1/ testdir2
If you are transferring files that have not already been
compressed, like text files, you can reduce the network transfer by adding
compression with the -z option:
The -P flag is very helpful. It combines the flags --progress
and --partial.
rsync -azP source destination
rsync -azP /home/vagrant/testdir root@abc.com:~/var/testdir
rsync -azP /home/vagrant/testdir
root@192.168.10.10:~/var/testdir
