rsync is a neat utility that lets you transfer whole directories ssh-encrypted over the internet.
So it is perfect for online-backup purposes off servers etc. pp.
It even can do partial-transfer which means: if 1 bit changed in a 1TB file it will only transfer that 1bit.
1. setup:
# install # debian apt-get update && apt-get install rsync # alternatively aptitude install rsync # centos7 yum update && yum install rsync
2. usage
rsync over ssh, please test if you can login to your server ssh -p1234 username@linuxServer.de before trying to upsync.
rsync -v --progress -r --update -e 'ssh -p1234' /FOLDER_TO_SYNC username@linuxServer.de:/FOLDER_TO_SYNC/ # limit bandwith used to 30kybtes/s --bwlimit=30
ssh-port
this will throttle the upload to 30KByte / S
Have fun!
