===== Installing and using rsync with your VortexBox =====

Rsync is a protocol that is used to sync data between two different file locations. It's very fast because it only sends the data that is different.

== Setting up rsync on your Vortexbox ==

At the command line enter this

<code>
setup-rsync
</code>

This will configure the rsync daemon to share out /storage read-only with no password

To list the files on your share you would use this command from another system

<code>
rsync rsync://<vortexbox IP>/files
</code>

If you want to change the way rsync shares your files you can edit the file /etc/rsyncd.conf
