| + | 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 | ||
