5.6.5 Rsync
Rsync copies files either to or from a remote host, or locally on the current host. It is
also a utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. proNAS Rsync implementation
can be set either in server mode or client mode. Server mode means that proNAS can
accept incoming Rsync connections, where as in client mode, proNAS is the one who
initiates the synchronization. To use as a server mode, you must start the "RSYNC
server” first. Go to System Manager -> Service tab, highlight "RSYNC server” then click
the “Start” button.
Some of the additional features of Rsync are:

Support for copying links, devices, owners, groups, and permissions.

Pipelining of file transfers to minimize latency costs

Support for anonymous or authenticated Rsync daemons
