rsync Clause Samples

rsync. The remote file synchronisation tool, rsync, is also supported by virtually all Unix-like operating systems. Like the scp tool, rsync can be used to transfer a file (or a directory containing many files) from a local machine to a remote machine. When used for the first time rsync behaves like scp; however, if the files are updated or new files are added then any subsequent use of rsync will only copy the updates or just the newly added files. Therefore, rsync is a very efficient and versatile file transfer tool.
