Here are some basic rsync notes.
Always remember…
rsync interprets a directory with no trailing slash as copy this directory, and a directory with a trailing slash as copy
This will put the contents of “foo” inside of “bar”:
rsync -av ~/foo/ user@remote.com:/var/www/bar/
This command will put the directory “foo” inside of “bar”
rsync -av ~/foo user@remote.com:/var/www/bar/
Remember…rsync interprets a directory with no trailing slash as copy this directory, and a directory with a trailing slash as copy the contents of this directory.
Some things to remember
–update, -u skip files that are newer on the receiver
–archive, -a archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
–dry-run, -n perform a trial run with no changes made
–progress show progress during transfer
-P same as –partial –progress
–compress, -z compress file data during the transfer
Here is a good one to remember…
