 +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
