--remote-scan-threads=
N
Use the specified number of directory scanning threads on the remote computer. More threads
decrease the time it takes for
async
to scan the directory after the initial synchronization, and
increase the number of pending files. Default: 1. To specify the number of scanning threads on the
local computer, see
--scan-threads
.
--remove-after-transfer
Remove source files after they are successfully synchronized.
--scan-dir-rename
Enable the detection of renamed directories and files compared to the previous scan, based on
matching inodes. Enable the detection of renamed directories and files compared to the previous
scan, based on matching inodes. When a new directory is found on the source and its inode matches
that of a previously found directory, it is considered a "rename" and the target directory is renamed
accordingly. The source directory is scanned for content changes, and the target directory is updated
accordingly.
Usage note:
• This option can be used only on file systems with persistent inodes, and does not work if inodes
are volatile, as is the case with many network-mounted file systems.
--scan-file-rename
Enable the detection of renamed files compared to the previous scan, based on matching inodes.
If a new file is found and its inode and last-modified time matches that of a previously found file
that does not have multiple hardlinks, it is considered a "rename" and the remote file is renamed
accordingly.
Usage note:
• This option can be used only on file systems with persistent inodes, and does not work if inodes
are volatile, as is the case with many network-mounted file systems.
• If
--scan-file-rename
is used without
--scan-dir-rename
, a directory rename
causes
async
to create a new directory and rename its files individually.
--scan-interval=
duration
Enable periodic scans during a continuous Aspera Sync (a session run with the
-C
option) on
the local host.
duration
is the interval between periodic scans and can be specified as DDd
HH:MM:SS.mmm or WWw DDd HHh MMm SSs XXms XXus. Leading zero fields can be
omitted. Spaces can be omitted. A plain number XX is interpreted as SSs (seconds).
--scan-threads=
N
Use the specified number of directory scanning threads on the local computer. More threads
decrease the time it takes for
async
to scan the directory after the initial synchronization, and
increase the number of pending files. Default: 1. To specify the number of scanning threads on the
remote computer, see
--remote-scan-threads
.
--sharing-retry-max=
N
Retry synchronizations up to the specified maximum number after a sharing violation. The interval
between retries is the number of seconds specified by
--cooloff
. Default: 3.
--symbolic-links=
action
See
-n
.
-t
Preserve file timestamps. Same as
--preserve-time
.
--tags=
string
User-defined metadata tags in JSON format that can be used in transfer session reporting and
searches.
