Then start rsyncd with
rcrsyncd start
. rsyncd can also be started automatically
during the boot process. Set this up by activating this service in the runlevel editor
provided by YaST or by manually entering the command
insserv rsyncd
. rsyncd
can alternatively be started by xinetd. This is, however, only recommended for servers
that rarely use rsyncd.
The example also creates a log file listing all connections. This file is stored in
/var/
log/rsyncd.log
.
It is then possible to test the transfer from a client system. Do this with the following
command:
rsync -avz sun::FTP
This command lists all files present in the directory
/srv/ftp
of the server. This re-
quest is also logged in the log file
/var/log/rsyncd.log
. To start an actual
transfer, provide a target directory. Use
.
for the current directory. For example:
rsync -avz sun::FTP .
By default, no files are deleted while synchronizing with rsync. If this should be forced,
the additional option
--delete
must be stated. To ensure that no newer files are
deleted, the option
--update
can be used instead. Any conflicts that arise must be
resolved manually.
