8.4.5 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. SR-TRITON16Ni 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
